Since the top of layer 5 and layer 6 are at the same level, are these two layers the same age? Why or why not?

No, they are not the same age. Layer 5 is older than layer 6.
Unconformity: gaps in the rock record created when older rock is worn away then new rock is layered over it.
You can see that parts of the older layers are missing.

• Isotope: an atom that has the same number of protons (or the same atomic number) as other atoms of the same element do but that has a different number of neutrons (thus a different atomic mass)
• Parent isotope: an atomic nucleus that is undergoing decay (Tritium H-3)

Daughter isotope: the stable isotope that results from radioactive decay (Helium-3)

• Tritium is radioactive. • It “decays” by losing an electron from one of the
neutrons. • Radioactive decay: the process in which a radioactive
isotope tends to break down into a stable isotope of the same element or another element.
• The neutron becomes a proton increasing the atomic number from one (Hydrogen) to two (Helium)

• After measuring the amount of parent isotopes and daughter isotopes in a rock, scientists use mathematical calculations to determine the rock’s age.
• These calculations are based on the half-life of the isotopes.
• When the rock is dated, we can know exactly how long ago the organism was alive.

Change Over TimeEvolution
Natural Selection: survival of the fittest organisms that are the best adapted to their environment and the ones that will live long enough to reproduce and pass on their favorable adaptations

Lamark’s ViewsJean-Baptiste Lamarck • 1 August 1744 – 18 December 1829 • Contributed his evolution theory before Darwin• His theory included the idea that organisms
developed traits because they needed them• Example: A giraffe’s neck became longer
because the giraffe would stretch it to reach food
• Although incorrect, his ideas began research into organisms changing over time.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION #17• How are the biological theories of
Darwin and Lamark similar and how are they different?
• Both thought organisms had changed over time.
• Darwin supported natural selection.• Lamark thought that organisms
changed due to environmental stresses on them

Change Over TimeEvolutionArtificial
Selection the breeding of
plants and animals with desired traits to attempt to produce offspring with these same traits
all domesticated animals and plants were developed using this process
also known as selective breeding

Change Over TimeEvolution
Speciation: the process of natural selection producing a new species out of existing species over thousands or millions of years
Species: a group of organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring; most specific classification of living things
Extinction: The evolutionary termination of a species caused by the failure to reproduce and the death of all remaining members of the species; the natural failure to adapt to environmental change

Change Over TimeEvolution
• Evolution: the change in population of a species over time; caused by differences in variation or successful mutations that allow individuals to survive and pass on their genes
• Mutation: a random change to a gene that results in a new trait
• Biological Evolution: the change over time of living organisms

ESSENTIAL QUESTION #18
• How does the extinction of a species relate to evolution?
• If a species becomes extinct, they were not able to adapt to the changing environment.
• Only those able to adapt (change) will survive
