Which of the following are examples of short-term, human-induced environmental changes? check all that apply. -mass extinction -global warming -deforestation -ozone layer destruction -pollution

The short term human induced environmental changes are pollution and deforestation.

The term deforestation can be defined as the cutting down of trees in huge amount. The reason can be cutting down of trees for human settlement.

Pollution can be defined as the undesirable in the environment. This can be soil pollution, air pollution, land pollution, noise pollution or water pollution.

The effects of these two human induced environmental changes is short term.

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.

as resources become scarce because of population growth, the growth decreases after few years due to lack of resources and food.
