Define kinetic energy and thermal energy. describe what happens to each as the temperature of a substances increases.

All matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. The motion of the particles results in kinetic energy. The part of total internal energy that can be transferred is thermal energy. As temperature increases, the particles in a substance move faster and have greater kinetic and thermal energy.

Hope this helped :)

oxygen became plentiful on earth

Explanation:

This is because banded iron formation is formed as a result of oxygen present in the ocean which is produced from cyanobacteria which undergo photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.

The oxygen produced are plentiful and they react with dissolved iron on the Earth's ocean to produce iron oxides which precipitated out and form a thin line floor on the ocean.
