Natural abundances vary based on the planet and its formation history. For example, Mars and Earth have different oxygen isotope ratios. It has been suggested that the moon was formed when a planet-sized object
struck a glancing blow on Earth. Although the cores remained largely intact, the remnants of these two bodies
eventually reformed into Earth and moon. Explain how you could use isotopic analysis to support this theory.

Indicate whether the following statements about the biases in the fossil record are true or false. a) inland species are more likely to be preserved than marine species b) organisms with hard body parts are more likely to be preserved than are those composed soft tissues. c) species that existed over a larger area are more likely to be preserved than species existing over a smaller area. d) organisms that lived very long ago are more likely to be found as fossils than organisms that lived relatively recently e) the fossils of larger organisms are more likely to be found than the fossils of smaller organisms

What causes eclipses? check all that apply. earth's rotation on its axis moon's shadow covering the sun earth's shadow covering the moon earth's orbit and moon's orbit occasionally aligning the moon and sun's gravity pulling in the same direction
