Of course it's magnetism. But why north? And if you go below the equator will it point south?

Could someone help me with this questions thank you sooo much..

A scientist is studying a section of exposed sedimentary rock layers, that are near a fault line (a place where the crust is actively moving and broken). Using the geologic principles discussed in this lesson, name the principle that you think could explain this observation and give a reasonable explanation as to why you think so.
Observation:
Layer A - top layer - contains fossils dated at 20,000 years old.
Layer B - next layer down - contains fossils dated at 100,000 years old
Layer C - third layer down, contains fossils dated at 400, 000 years old
Layer D - bottom layer contained fossils 800,000 years old.

Could someone help me with this questions please.. Thanks..

A geologist finds a fossil in a rock layer. The fossil has been dated and the approximate age of the fossil has been placed at 10,000 years old. What can the geologist assume about the rock layer based on this data and what principle supports this assumption?

Ok, this is a serious question. I feel ashamed not to know the answers, but I never understood this.

I was standing in an early medieval church in Ireland a few years back. It had been excavated and its ground floor was now at least a meter below ground. How did it get there?

I don’t understand the process, of how pottery, churches, spearheads, streets or dinosaur bones for that matter, disappear below ground. I know that the ground consists of layers, and that geologists can determine the date of a find, by looking at the layer it comes from. But how are these layers formed? I don’t suppose the earth got any bigger? Where did the ground on top of these finds come from? How does the earth burry its own history?

Now I know that floods, wind and volcanic activity can shift soil and leave deposits, but surely that cannot account for all of this. And then how is it possible that in Australia the remains of pre-historic campfires can still be found on the surface?

Thanks!

My son is doing a science project on crystals, we need to find out how many different kinds/types of crystals there are. At least how many have been identified. I have tried looking this information up in the library, as well as the internet (maybe I am not wording right when I search) Any help would be appreciated.

80% of bees are dead, whats your best guess as to why?

I am seeing these reports of 80% of the domestic bee population, which is used to pollinate agricultural crops, has suddenly died.

Bees are very sensitive to magnetic fields, could it perhaps be that something is happening on a magnetic level that is disorientating them so that they loose sense of direction?

What do you think the cause is?

One other thing, we are expecting a collapse of the seafood supply within 40 years.

Theres a very flawed arguement in the arguement of global warming. I think many revolutionaries that are pushing awareness of the issue do not see the major flaw in their arguement.

One of the big problems is the melting of glaciers. These and other ice formations are floating. Or, to better suit this arguement, these structures are displacing water. The amount of water displaced is equal to the weight of the ice.

When the world nears disaster and these ice monsters start melting away, they will not affect the water level at all. As the water sheds off, the ice becomes lighter and displaces less. Sure theres more water in the sea, but it's proportional to the lesser amount of ice in the water. In fact, ice is less dense than water, so the volume of overall water will actually decrease.

I think people dont sit down to think about ideas like this. They just assume melting ice means their waterfront homes are going to go under.

What is the difference between geoterium and hydrogen. if hydrogen can be produced by splitting 2 paticles of hydrogen from one particle of oxygen (H2O) how could geoterium be produced?
Some people claim that there are geoterium deposits in the southern part of the Philippines and some parts of the United states. If this is true, how can these deposits be acquired for energy provision
