The change in velocity from 30 m/s north to 40 m/s south is a change of 70 m/s south
Because of the earths curve and temperature. The temperature in an area depends on the amount of the Sun's energy reaching the surface in that area. The equator tilts closer to the sun than the poles do. I hope this helps!
Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).
Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.
Moral of the story: If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
Answer: Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.
When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.
Explanation:
The options include:
1. An unconformity is created when lava pours out on Earth’s surface.
2. Faults are the result of volcanic activity.
3. Intrusions and extrusions are sedimentary formations.
4. Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.
5. When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.
The law of superposition simply states that when there is a layers of rocks, we would see that the younger layers will lie and be on top of the layers that are older.
Other tools that can help scientist with relative dating are:
• Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.
• When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.
