(01.01 LC) Up until 1938, paleontologists accepted the idea that coelacanths (an ancient fish) went extinct at the time that they last appear in the fossil record, about 80 million years ago. But in 1938, a live coelacanth was discovered off the coast of South Africa that was compared to the fossil record and found to be the same species. What focus of science does this discovery represent? (3 points)

(02.01 MC) Plate tectonics is the theory explaining the structure of the earth’s crust and the resulting features and processes of the interaction of the plates that move slowly over the underlying mantle. There are four boundary zones that are created by these plate interactions. Which process is responsible for forming the islands of Japan? (3 points)

(02.02 MC) In recent years, scientists have collected data on populations of Adelie and Gentoo penguins. Adelie penguins are ice dependent. They rely on sea ice as a foraging platform for feeding on prey such a krill and fish, while Gentoo penguins are considered ice-intolerant. How does the data in the graph support or refute the theory of global climate change? (3 points) © 2016, NOAA
