Answer:

Scientists will be able to use relative dating and absolute dating to determine when the failure occurred.

Explanation:

Scientists will be able to use relative dating, because it is the method capable of determining an order of events that occurred in the past by relating the rock with that failure to a rock without failure or with different failures, without the need to determine an absolute age of when the failure happened, however revealing a relative, approximate date.

It will also be possible to use absolute dating, which will give a more precise age on the fault present in the rock, using a chronological age that will be determined by observing the physical and chemical properties of the rock. This technique shows the age of the event in numbers, as opposed to relative dating.

To convert measurements in the metric system you can move the decimal point left or right why does this work?
Serhud [2]

Explanation:

Because when you move the decimal point once, it it equal to 10 and to convert in the metric system, you must multiply or divide by 10. For example, when converting 4 centimeters to millimeters, you can multiply by 10 to get 40 millimeters or you can move the decimal point to the right and add another 0 to get 40.
