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

der rocks might be found on top of younger rocks-what could cause that? Why is an igneous intrusion younger than the rocks it’s found in?

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.

The ten's digit of a two digit number is 1 more than 4 times the units' digit. if 63 is subtracted from the number, the order of
ser-zykov [4K]
Let x be the digit in the tens place and y be the digit in the ones place.
so, the digit is xy
<span>
The ten's digit of a two digit number is 1 more than 4 times the units' digit.
</span>x = 4y + 1

<span>63 is subtracted from the number, the order of the digits is reversed
</span>10x + y - 63 = 10y + x
9x - 9y = 63

x = 4y + 1 ------------ (1)
9x - 9y = 63  ---------- (2)

Sub (1) into (2)
9(4y + 1) - 9y = 63
36y + 9 - 9y = 63
27y = 63 - 9
27y = 54
y = 2 ------- sub into (1)

x = 4(2) + 1 = 9

x = 9, y = 2
The number is 92

The equation of line A is y = 7x + 12. Line B is perpendicular to line A and passes through the point . What would be the soluti
max2010maxim [7]
Since B is perpendicular to A. We can say that the gradient of B will be -1/7 (product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines has to be -1).
Now we know that the equation for B is y=-(1/7)x + c with c being the y intercept.
Since the point isnt specified in the question, we could leave the equation like this.
But if there is a given point that B passes through, just plug in the x and y values into their respective places and solve to find c. That should give you the equation for b.
Now, to find the solution of x, we have 2 equations:
1) y=7x+12
2)y=-(1/7)x+c

In this simultaneous equation we see that y is equal to both the expressions. So,
7x+12=-(1/7)x+c

Now, since the value of c is not found, we cannot actually find the value of x, but if we would find c, we could also find x since it would only be a matter of rearranging the equation.
And there you go, that is your solution :)
