Many plants and animals disappear abruptly from the fossil record as one moves from layers of rock documenting the end ofthe Cretaceous up into rocks representing the beginning of the Cenozoic (the era after the Mesozoic). 可以拆解和翻譯一下這句嗎?有點是懂非懂 第十題 Paragraph 5 lr has not been common at Earth’s since the very beginning of the planet’s history. Because it usually exists in a metallic state, it was preferentially incorporated in Earth’s core as the planet cooled and consolidated. lr is found in high concentrations in some meteorites, in which the solar system’s original chemical composition is preserved. Even today, microscopic meteorites continually bombard Earth, falling on both land and sea. By measuring how many of these meteorites fall to Earth over a given period of time, scientists can estimate how long it might have taken to deposit the observed amount of lr in the boundary clay. These calculations suggest that a period of about one million years would have been required. However, other reliable evidence suggests that the deposition of the boundary clay could not have taken one million years. So the unusually high concentration of lr seems to require a special explanation. 10. Paragraph 5 implies that a special explanation of lr in the boundary clay is needed because ○the lr in microscopic meteorites reaching Earth during the Cretaceous period would have been incorporated into Earth’s core ○the lr in the boundary clay was deposited much more than a million years ago ○the concentration of lr in the boundary clay is higher than in microscopic meteorites ○the amount of lr in the boundary clay is too great to have come from microscopic meteorites during the time the boundary clay was deposited 不太懂為什麼答案是D? 為什麼銥的量會太多而不可能是來自隕石? 這一題從哪推出答案是D? 感謝回答 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.60.111.58 ※ 編輯: Purlas 來自: 61.60.111.58 (07/13 14:01)

These calculations...說明裡面Ir的含量有1million years

但是接著又說所沉積的clay的量沒有這麼多,所以一定有其他

因素導致土裡的Ir含量超出理論值
