ACTIVITY NO.5
Direction: Answer the following question.

1.) What environmental practices can be done to minimize the threats of exogenous processes to
human safety?

By doing simple things like taking shorter showers, avoiding small clothes washes,
and turning the taps off while brushing, it can save gallons of water! Similarly, it’s
important to be mindful of the electricity consumption, and make adaptations so that
it can reduce the demand for energy production and thereby preserve fossil fuel
resources. While public and private entities plan the transition to sustainable
alternatives, by doing a bit at homes and offices, we can reduce fossil fuel dependency.

2.) In what way do continents resemble the pieces of a puzzle? Explain

All the continents were separated in like a jigsaw puzzle, and when they separated,
it’s like a puzzle waiting to be fixed.

3.) How can fossils be used as evidence for continental drift?

There are various examples of fossils found on separate continents and in no other
regions. This indicates that these continents had to be once joined together because
the extensive oceans between these land masses act as a type of barrier for fossil
transfer.

4.) What is the difference between relative dating and absolute dating?

The main difference between absolute and relative dating is that the absolute dating is
a technique to determine the numerical age of a rock or a fossil whereas the relative
dating is a technique that determines the relative age. Furthermore, absolute dating
can be done with the use of radiometric dating while relative age is determined with
respect to other layers.
