Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The law of Superposition was introduced by Nicolas Steno in the 17th century. According to this law, in an undisturbed sedimentary rock layers or sequence, the rocks that are found at its base are the oldest rocks and the rocks that are found at the apex indicates the youngest rocks.

In nature, all sedimentary sequences do not satisfy this principle, because sometimes, some sedimentary sequences are affected by several factors such as the plate tectonic activity, earthquake, and faulting.

The Steno's principles were a huge contribution to the field of geology.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Burning of woods has a negative impact on the climate.

Explanation:

Burning of woods for heating has a negative impact on our climate because it releases carbondioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas that trapped the reflected solar radiation and leads to global warming. We have to used alternative methods for heating such as electric heater instead of burning of wood which produce no pollution and can fulfill the requirement of heating so from the above discussion we can say that the activity has a negative impact on the environment.

larisa86 [58]
Ecological efficiency is the term used to describe how much energy will be passed from lower food pyramid level into the higher level. The amount of energy in primary level will be much higher than tertiary. The difference of level of tertiary(3) with primary(1) would be two level.
Assuming that the ecological efficiency is 10%, then the <span>primary consumer level would be: 50 kcal * 10^(3-1)= 5000 kcal</span>

vovikov84 [41]

The hypothesis would be: Consumption of a single apple every day will reduce the number of visits to the doctor.

The hypothesis is a proposed explanation that is a starting point for further investigations. So, in this case, we assume that eating one apple a day will keep us healthy, without the need for the doctor.
