Slope intercept form: y = 3/2x
b is zero since it goes through the origin (0,0)
Answer:
A.
Relative dating gives the order in which a rock layer formed compared to those around it by using layering and fossils, while absolute dating can give the age in years by using half-lives of radioisotopes.
Explanation:
The relative dating and the absolute dating use different methods, have different purposes, but they still manage to complement each other.
The relative dating is not a dating method that provides information about the exact time of a rock or a fossil. Instead, this method is comparative. It is using comparison of the layers of rock and the fossils in them, having a rough age span for them, and it provides information about the period in which a rock layer has formed, or a life form has been living.
The absolute dating has the purpose of providing information about the exact age of a rock layer or fossil. In order to do so, this method uses the half-lives of radioisotopes, so it manages to provide either the exact age, or to have a very small margin of error in the exact age.
Answer:
3. along
Explanation:
If an oceanic trench formed along the East Coast of North America, the deepest earthquakes related to the subduction of the oceanic plate beneath North America would occur along the eastern coastline.
Oceanic trenches results from the convergence of two plates, they are a common site for earthquakes. Since the trench is along the East Coast of Northern America, the earthquake will most likely occur along the Eastern coastline.
