One interesting test of the Alvarez hypothesis is based on the presence of the rare-earth element iridium (Ir). Earth’s crust contains very little of this element, but most asteroids contain a lot more. Debris thrown into the atmosphere by an asteroid collision would presumably contain large amounts of iridium, and atmospheric currents would carry this material all over the globe. A search of sedimentary deposits that span the boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods shows that there is a dramatic increase in the abundance of iridium briefly and precisely at this boundary. This iridium anomaly offers strong support for the Alvarez hypothesis even though" no asteroid itself has ever been recovered." 10. In stating that" no asteroid itself has ever been recovered," the author emphasizes which of the following? A. The importance of the indirect evidence for a large asteroid B. The fact that no evidence supports the asteroid-impact hypothesis 想請問一下這兩個答案有什麼不同呢? 我是選B 可是答案是A 實在想不出為什麼 還請高手幫忙解惑 謝謝 :) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.87.23 ※ 編輯: ponponww 來自: 111.248.87.23 (08/09 16:01)

即使沒發現到隕石本身,但IR的異常含量得以支持這個假

說有過之而無不及==>強調間接証據?
