The correct answer is - Norway and Sweden.

The Scandinavian Peninsula is consisted of only two countries, Norway and Sweden. Very often Finland is mistaken to be part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, but it is actually not. Denmark is actually on the Jutland Peninsula, while Iceland is an island that lies on the border of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

All these countries though, are often referred to as Scandinavian countries, in a regional sense, though it will be more accurate to describe them as Nordic countries to avoid any confusions.

Answer:

Fault- B

Extrusion- H

Unconformity- G

Relative Age- E

Law of Superposition- C

Intrusion- D

Absolute Age- A

Index Fossils- F

Explanation:

Fault- A fault generally refers to the fracture as a result of which either the hanging wall goes up or down with respect to the footwall. it takes place either due to compressional or extensional stress. In simple terms, it is a break that occurs in the earth’s crust.

Extrusion- These are the consolidated rocks that are formed when magma comes out to the surface forming extrusive rocks. For example, Basalt and Rhyolite.

Unconformity- It is defined as the period of non-deposition. It occurs when the rocks surfaces are eroded extensively. These are the surfaces where the much older rock meets geologically younger rocks.

Relative age- When the age of any rock is compared with the age of different rocks then, the relative age of the rock is obtained. It is extensively used for the calculation of the age of rocks from any sedimentary sequence.

Law of Superposition- This law enables us to evaluate the relative ages of two or more rocks as it depicts the younger rocks that are deposited on the apex and the older rocks at the bottom of a sequence.

Intrusion- These are the rocks that form due to the crystallization and solidification of magma beneath the earth's surface. For example, granite and gabbro.

Absolute age- This refers to the total amount of time (in terms of years) that a rock has formed. These rocks are formed from the deposition, compaction, and lithification of sediments in a sedimentary environment.

Index fossils- These are the fossils that were present for a shorter period of time and have a wide geographical distribution and were mostly used by the geologists in order to match the rock layers.

What process is a good example of a positive feedback that then reaches an equilibrium in an Earth system?

ipn [44]

Answer:

The relationship between the warming of the earth’s northern latitude and ice is a practical example of a positive feedback on the earth system.

Explanation:

A positive feedback is a process that brings about an increase in the process of interaction in the earth activities The warming of the northern latitude which is responsible for generating more heat through sunlight with time, usually results in an increase in the melting of ice bodies in the ocean by movement. This activity is regarded as positive because it is associated with an increase in the process. This process is directly proportional to the exchange activities that takes place and often leads to an equilibrium in the earth system.
