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.

Part A name the asymptote for the graphed function
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The horizontal line  y=2  is the asymptote


Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential function.

An asymptote is the line a function approaches but never touches.

Here, y=2 is the horizontal line that is asymptote of the function.


<u>Note:</u> <em>Normally, y=0 is the asymptote of a parent exponential function, since this graph is parent function shifted 2 units up, the asymptote becomes y=2</em>
