Answer 1

The correct chart that records the information obtained by Ron would be:

Period 443 mya to 417 mya 417 mya to 354 mya 354 mya to 290 mya 290 mya to 248 mya 248 mya to 206 mya

Event Conifers appeared Formation of coal Mammals appeared Significant rise in sea level Insects appeared on Earth

Answer 2

Based on the time periods provided and the corresponding events, the chart that best records the information obtained by Ron is:

Period | Event

443 mya to 417 mya | Significant rise in sea level

417 mya to 354 mya | Formation of coal

354 mya to 290 mya | Conifers appeared

290 mya to 248 mya | Insects appeared on Earth

248 mya to 206 mya | Mammals appeared

Therefore, the correct chart is:

Period 443 mya to 417 mya | 417 mya to 354 mya | 354 mya to 290 mya | 290 mya to 248 mya | 248 mya to 206 mya

Event Significant rise in sea level | Formation of coal | Conifers appeared | Insects appeared on Earth | Mammals appeared
