The disappearance of organisms from the geologic record provides evidence for which of the following events?


1. Continental Drift.

2. A change in sea level.

3. A change in climate.

4. Periods of mass extinction.

Respuesta :

The disappearance of organisms from the geologic record provides evidence for periods of mass extinction (number 4). When diverse organism assemblages disappear at, or near, a single geological horizon, we are able to postulate a catastrophic event. An indication of disappearance of organisms from the geologic record may be sufficient to establish an revolucionary change. This question is related to geologic history.

Note: Clues of environmental perturbations can show us many biological revolutions on a world scale.

The event that occur as a result of disappearance of organisms from the geologic record can be regarded as :4: Periods of mass extinction

  • An extinction event can be regarded as  widespread as well as rapid decrease in the biodiversity on Earth.

  • These event can be identified through sharp change in the diversity as well as abundance of multicellular organisms.

  • It do occurs as a result of increase in rate of extinction  with respect to the rate of speciation.

Some of the causes of mass extinction are:

  1. glacial cycles.
  2. oxygen levels.
  3. ocean acidification.
  4. sea level rise
  5. volcanism

Therefore, option 4 is right.
