Not only does sediment spread horizontality and from youngest (top) to oldest (bottom), it also continues to spread flat in all

directions until it either runs out of material—pinches off—or hits a barrier. This is known as the _____.
law of original horizontality
law of superposition
law of original lateral continuity
law of gravity and oppositional force
law of cross-cutting relationships

Answer:

law of superposition

Explanation:

The law of superposition in geology suggests that the sediments are spreading out in a horizontal manner, flat, in all directions, until there's some natural feature that will stop them. It also suggests that the sediments are arranged vertically from the oldest being at the bottom, and the youngest layers being on the top.

Even though this is not always the case in nature, still there are lot of examples that support the law of superposition. When the sediments are aligned in that manner, the geologists find it very helpful and easy to determine the relative age of the layers, as well as the relative age of the fossils that are found in them.

Why do the body structures of some species support Darwin's theories? because they have similar functions because they are very
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Because the have similar limbs.

Because they have similar functions.

Explanation:

(because they have similar limbs)

Homology (evolution) describes a structure that has similar function like limbs on dogs and bears (used for walking) and also have a similar arrangement of bones. The fins on a doplhin might be different from the wings on a bat but they reflect a common origin due to their bone composition e.g carpals and radius bones.

(because they have similar functions)

Analogy (evolution) describes a structure with  for example, bird and butterfly wings that have no common ancestor but have the same purpose, in this case flying. They developed independtly as adaptions. This supports natural selection which is a driving force for evolution.

lina2011 [118]

hey buddy here is your answer

b -that the first occurs in the mitochondria and the second occurs in the chloroplasts

explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane and the high energy electrons originate from reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2 (from the Krebs Cycle, Link Reaction and Glycolysis), whereas non-cyclic photophosphorylation occurs on the thylakoid membrane in the chloroplasts, and the electrons
