Answer:
Layer B is older than intrusion A
Intrusion A is older than layers C, D, and E.
Layer B is older than layers C, D, and E.
Explanation:
The laws of biostratigraphy can be applied to this lithological section in order to ascertain the relative ages of the beds.
Some of these laws that are applicable to this problem are:
- Principle of superposition of strata : the oldest layer is always at the bottom of sequence while the youngest is on top in an undisturbed rock sequence.
- Law of cross-cutting: when faults and fractures cuts through a rock sequence, they are younger than the rock they cross through.
- Law of intrusions: Intrusions are younger than the rock layers they cut through
The geologic history of the beds here can be interpreted as thus:
- Lithology B was first deposited
- Then an intrusion A occurred and terminated at B
- Layers C, D and E were then deposited.
The oldest layer here is B followed by the intrusion A and successful deposition of C, D and E in that order.
Answer: The release of methane from thawed permafrost
Explanation:
With increasing global warming, permafrost in the arctic is melting. The carbon and methyl clathrates present in permafrost escape into the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases.
In the Arctic, molecules of methane are trapped in ice crystals as methyl clathrates. When the temperature increases, these crystals release methyl clathrates which become methane when in contact with the atmosphere.
The cause of the increasing atmospheric
is due to the the thawing of dead organisms present in the permafrost. As the permafrost melts, these organisms decay and release
into the atmosphere.
Answer: Many factors (Cold climate drivers) Can influence earths climate such as changes in the suns intensity and volcanic eruption’s, as well as heat trapping gases in the atmosphere. The scientific evidence suggests that it is highly likely that humans are causing global warming
hope this helps you / have a nice day
