What does the Principle of Superposition tell us about relative ages of the strata in the cross-sections you were looking at? Ol

Answer:

1. The Principle of superposition states that a strata of rock is younger than the one over which it is laid.

2. The intrusion of the younger rock by the principle of cross-cutting relationship

3. The intrusion igneous rock arrived after the rock it is found in had already been in place and is stable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In geology, the Principle of superposition states that, in its originally laid down state, a strata sequence consists of older rocks over which younger rocks are laid. That is, a stratum of rock is younger than the stratum upon which it rests.

The principle of cross cutting relationships in a geologic intrusion occurrence, the feature which intrudes or cut across another feature is always than the feature it cuts across.

The reason is that based on the geologic time frame, the rock 1 which ws cut across by rock 2 was already in the geologic zone in a more steady state than rock , therefore it is older than the cutting rock 2.

here x will be number of bowl which can only be dicrete value e.g 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ...

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete graph is a series of scatter plot points. It means point on graph aren't continuous manner.

A continuous function allows the x-values to be ANY points in the interval, including fractions, decimals, and irrational values. A discrete function allows the x-values to be only certain points in the interval, only integers or whole numbers.

A particle moves along the x-axis so that at any time t≥0 its velocity is given by v(t)= t^2In(t+2). What is the acceleration of
S_A_V [24]
Acceleration is the change of velocity per unit change of time. In this case, given the velocity equation, we can get the acceleration of the particle by taking the first derivative of the equation. v'(t)= t^2 (1/t+2) + 2t In(t+2). substituting t= 6, acceleration is equal to 29.45 m/s2.
