Question

eC.Yes. The theory of evolution is based entirely on natural: selection, which was entirely Darwin's idea. D. No. Darwin described a mechanism for evolutionary change, but natural selection was only a component of the theory of evolution Lord Kelvin generated an estimate of the age of the earth that was: f Select one: OA fairly accurate: within 1 million years of the current estimate @B. approximately 70.000 years o C. incorrect, because it was based on the rate at which rocks warm, from the surface to the molten core of the Earth D. incorrect, because it failed to consider the dynamic nature of the Earth's interior OE. based on the rate at which radioactive isotopes decay Drag the correct number below onto the LETTER corresponding to the correct isochron on the graph:

Explanation / Answer

Answer

D) incorrect, it failed to consider the dynamic nature of earth's interior

Explanation : At that time heat transefer through radioactivity and convection waswnot discovered.

Heat also transfer by radioactive decay of the elements present in the core accounting for heat transfer from core to th earth so there dynamic transfer of heat from surface to the core via conduction and from core to the surface via radiation.
