Leno4ka [110]2 years ago
5 0
The Atlantic and Pacific ‘meet’ at the southernmost tip of South America, known as Cape Horn. In this region, a strong current carries water from west to east, sweeping water from the Pacific into the Atlantic. Travelling around Cape Horn is a turbulent, dangerous journey to make by ship and has claimed many lives. Prior to the building of the Panama Canal, it was the sole route by sea between the Pacific and Atlantic.

Which of the following is not a principle of relative-age dating?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

A. In undisturbed rock layers, the youngest rocks are on the bottom.

C. If one rock contains pieces of another, the rock containing the pieces is older than the pieces.

Explanation:

Relative dating is a form of dating rocks in which past events in geologic records are put their proper order without necessarily knowing their absolute ages. There are several principles that helps in relative dating of rocks. These principles are:

  • Principle of superposition of strata
  • Law of original horizontality
  • Principle of lateral continuity
  • Principle of inclusion
  • Principle of fossil and fauna succession

Option A and C are false statements of principle of superpositon of strata and principle of inclusion.

A. In undisturbed rock layers, the youngest rocks are on the bottom.

According to the principle of superpositon of strata, "the oldest sedimentary rock layers are usually at the bottom and the youngest on the top".

C. If one rock contains pieces of another, the rock containing the pieces is older than the pieces.

This is a false statement of principle of inclusion, the principle states that "inclusions found in a sedimentary rock are older than the rocks that contains them". Inclusions are fragments or pieces of other rocks that are found in a rock. These inclusion are believed to be older than the rocks they are found in.

Firdavs [7]
Chemistry 03.03 Plate Tectonics: Past, Present, and Future All of this plate movement over time really mixes things up! If we look at how plates move and look back in time, we are able to come up with some predictions of how the Earth used to look. These predictions are called the theory of continental drift.The Continental Drift Theory is now called Plate Tectonic Theory. The Plate Tectonic Theory states that all of the continents of the Earth were once one big landmass. This landmass is named Pangaea.
