Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The reason behind the profound geological knowledge about life that colonized early Paleozoic seafloors as compared to the life that floated and swam above seafloors.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The presence of immense fossil record helped the geologists to know more about the life forms that colonized early Paleozoic seafloors.
Explanation of Solution
The life forms that colonized early Paleozoic seafloors lived close to the surface of the sediment. These new forms of life possessed skeleton composed of durable minerals. Fossils of these colonized animals in the form of skeletons, teeth, and burrows helped the geologist to gain knowledge about the life that colonized early Paleozoic seafloors.
Fossils are the preserved remains of ancient animals that died thousands or millions of years ago. The most abundant animal groups with skeleton that were colonized in early Paleozoic seafloors were monoplacophoran mollusks, inarticulate brachiopods, and a variety of echinoderms. However, no significant fossil records are available for organisms that swam or floated above the sea floor.

How did "Common Sense" affect the English population?"By this time the public mind had been prepared by various productions issued from the press, to entertain thoughts of independence. Paine turned his wit to this subject, and in 1776 he brought out his famous pamphlet, called 'Common Sense,' which contained bolder sentiments than any written by all the other various pamphleteers. His production met with unparalleled success. Copies were distributed throughout the colonies, and 'Common Sense' became literally the study of the whole American world. It was even read, admired, and eulogised in England by men of sense and talent: Burke calls it 'that celebrated pamphlet which prepared the minds of the people for independence.' Its chief merit, however, seems to have consisted in rough, sarcastic wit, which was well calculated to flatter the prejudices as well as to inflame the resentment of the American people.
