Taken from a dictionary: "in any undisturbed sequence of rocks deposited in layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest on bottom, each layer being younger than the one beneath it and older than the one above it."

The law of superposition in a basic sense states that the oldest in an order will be towards the back or bottom, and the youngest near the front or top. In rock layers that means that the oldest rock will be the furthest below the surface and the youngest will be right on the top, or the highest up. The only exception would be an igneous intrusion, those are always the you best “layers” regardless of order

What is the density of a 10 kg mass that occupies 5 liters?<br> ( pls need help)
bulgar [2K]

Answer: d=2000 g/L

Explanation:

Density is mass/volume. The units are g/L. Since we are given mass and volume, we can divide them to find density. First, we need to convert kg to g.

10kg*\frac{1000g}{1kg} =10000 g

Now that we have grams, we can divide to get density.

d=\frac{10000g}{5 L}

d=2000g/L

Restaurant​ a's chicken salad contains the same number of grams of fat as the chicken salad of restaurant
german
To compute for grams of fat in each salad:

We know that, A = C.

And B is 5 grams more, so it is B = 5 + A

And the total fat is 65, so A + B + C = 65 grams.


Computation:

A + (5 + A) + A = 65

3A + 5 = 65

3A = 60

A = 20

A = 20

B = (65 - 40) = 25

C = 20

To break a chemical bond, energy must be(1) absorbed (2) destroyed (3) produced (4) released
Troyanec [42]

Answer: 1) absorbed

Explanation:

As a chemical bond is formed either by transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons, in order to break the forces of attraction among atoms, energy must be absorbed.

Energy is produced or released when  a chemical bond is formed.

Energy is never destroyed, it converts from one form to another.
