Answer:
A stream in a bedrock valley located 5000 feet above ultimate base level that is draining a mountainous region in the headwater of a stream system would have a _____.
high gradient, and a narrow and shallow channel with no floodplain
Explanation:
A bedrock valley has no alluvium mantling the bedrock over which it flows. Alluvium (consists of sand, gravel, silt, clay, and gravel, as well as other organic matters) mantlings or coverings are usually developed in the lower part of the river with the formation of floodplains and deltas. They may also be deposited at lakes or river banks. Headwater streams deliver nutrients and other organic materials (e.g. fallen leaves) to downstream regions to sustain downstream aquatic life.
<span>Wegener had the evidence that there are similar rock formations on different continents and that the shape and rock formations of continents on either side of an ocean fit quite nicely. However, he could not find the mechanism that caused the continents to move across the ocean floor. I hope this helps. :)</span>
Answer:
A and C
Explanation:
The rock layers must have formed at different times because they contain two different biozones. The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed before the one containing the ammonites. The key thing to note here is that the Trilobites only lived from 540 to 248 million years ago. And that the Ammonites were from 245 to 65 million years ago. So there's a 3 million year gap between these 2 different creatures where neither of them existed. So the dig where the trilobites were found has to be at least 3 million years older than the dig where the Ammonites were found. So with that in mind, let's look at the options and see what makes sense.
The rock layers must have formed at the same time because they both contain biozones. * This is nonsense no matter what dates you're speaking of. In effect it claims that all rocks that indicate life were created at the same time. So this is definitely a bad choice.
The rock layers must have formed at different times because they contain two different biozones. * This is technically incorrect since it assumes that all biozones represent an unique period of time which is incorrect. However, since the biozones represented by the presence of Trilobites and Ammonites don't overlap, it is true that these these rock layers were formed at different times. I would have preferred if this option said "non overlapping biozones". But on the balance, I'd consider this option to be true, so it should be selected.
The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed before the one containing the ammonites. * This is definitely true since the last Trilobite died about 3 million years before the first Ammonite lived. So this is a correct choice.
The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed after the one containing the ammonites.
* This is the opposite of the previous option. And since the previous option was true, this option must be false. So this is a bad choice
Answer: east-west
Explanation: They run east-west and they are supposed to measure the distance between the North and South of the equator
To survive, otters need clean water in a relatively special, undisturbed environment.
That, and their small numbers over a large area, made them very vulnerable to pollution, habitat destruction and historic unregulated fishing. Unlike most people, sea otters like to cool their feet. In fact, their ice consumption is so high that Den Blå Planet has decorated the otter's enclosure with its own ice machine, so they always have a cold treat close at hand.
From the Vancouver Aquarium: Sea otters usually catch hard-shelled food - clams, abalone, clams, crabs... If they are too hard to break with their teeth, they crush them with a rock or against a rock. This is what this sea otter (Elfin) does when it hits the ice on a rock.
