The Precambrian Era is the time before abundant multicellular life with hard parts evolved. This time
interval represents what percentage of earth's history?
Question options:
, Applying the principles of relative age-dating to the diagram, which of the following is TRUE.
Explanation of the diagram:
"A" represents an unconformity (erosional surface),
"B" is a basaltic dike,
"C" is a shale formation,
"D" is a sandstone formation,
"E" is a limestone formation,
"F" represents a thrust fault.

Where is the top of the asthenosphere closest to the earth's surface?
Question options:
ansform fault
ollision zone
