yes you are right

Answer 2

lol i just came on after a long time and you find me

Answer 3

Which of the following was Charles Lyell's contribution?
Answer

He developed the theory of natural selection.

He formalized many principles of geology.

He organized a hierarchical classification of organisms.

He developed the principle of biological succession.

*He formalized many principles of geology.

Answer 4

Lyell's version of geology came to be known as uniformitarianism, because of his fierce insistence that the processes that alter the Earth are uniform through time. Like Hutton, Lyell viewed the history of Earth as being vast and directionless. And the history of life was no different.

Tenerife, Canary Islands
Lyell crafted a powerful lens for viewing the history of the Earth. On Darwin's voyage aboard the Beagle, for example, he was able to decipher the history of the Canary Islands (right) by applying Lyell's ideas to the volcanic rock he encountered there. Today satellite measurements reveal that mountains may rise an inch a year, while radioactive clocks help show how they've been rising that way for millions of years. But Lyell could never have grasped the mechanism — plate tectonics — that makes this kind of geological change happen.

Yet geologists today also know that some of the factors that changed the Earth in the past cannot be seen at work today. For example, the early Earth was pummeled by gigantic hunks of solar debris, some as big as Mars. For the first one or two billion years of Earth's history, plate tectonics didn't even exist as we know it today.

Lyell had an equally profound effect on our understanding of life's history. He influenced Darwin so deeply that Darwin envisioned evolution as a sort of biological uniformitarianism. Evolution took place from one generation to the next before our very eyes, he argued, but it worked too slowly for us to perceive.

So yes you are correct

Answer 5

Natural selection is the process by which:
Answer

the age of the fossils is calculated

organisms with traits well suited to their environment survive and reproduce at a greater rate than less well-adapted organisms in the same environment

acquired traits are passed on from one generation to the next

all of the above

*organisms with traits well suited to their environment survive and reproduce at a greater rate than less well-adapted organisms in the same environment

Answer 6

yes you are correct
