Answer:
Law of Superposition
Explanation:
According to the law of superposition, the sediments are usually deposited on top of one another, giving rise to the formation of sedimentary layers. In an undisturbed sedimentary sequence, the layers that are formed at the apical portion are the youngest and the layers that are found at the base are the oldest.
Thus, the concept of laying down of sediments on top of one another is the law of Superposition.
Mars' atmosphere is made mostly of carbon dioxide, much like Venus. It is not as hot as Venus because the Martian atmosphere is extremely thin. Venus has a thick layer of carbon dioxide gas surrounding the planet. This is why it is the hottest planet in the solar system even though it is not the closest to the sun. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas so it has the ability to trap infrared radiation. The atmosphere on Mars is thin and so it will not trap as much heat as the Venusian atmosphere.
The air descends on the leeward side, but due to the precipitation it has lost most of its moisture. Usually, descending air also gets warmer because of adiabatic compression down the leeward side of the mountain, which increases the amount of moisture that it can absorb and creates an arid region.
