The correct answer answer is - C. Antarctica.

By looking at the map, Antarctica appears to be an enormous continent, significantly bigger than any other continent on the planet. The reality though is that Antarctica is is the fifth continent by size, with only two being smaller than it, and with relatively small difference. Asia, Africa, North America, and South America, are all bigger than the frozen continent, with only Europe and Australia being slightly smaller.

The very big distortion of Antarctica appears because the map is not made to cope with the increasing scale, especially because the scale becomes infinite at the poles. By the looks of it, this seems to be a Mercator projection.

The Law of Superposition places the youngest rock on top of older rock, except when what two rock formations are present?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The Law of Superposition places the youngest rock on top of older rock, except when faults and igneous rock are present (option 1).

Explanation:

The law of superposition of strata -proposed by Nicolás Steno based on the observations of Avicenna- states that the rock strata observed in the earth's crust are the product of the deposit of rocks progressively over time, leaving the newest rocks in the surface and the oldest in lower strata.

In successive studies and observations made by Steno, this scientist could appreciate the existence of some exceptions to his principle of superposition:

  • <em>The presence of geological faults could cause an alteration in the arrangement of the layers, different from the order they should have. </em>
  • <em>Magma activity is a factor that would lead to the deposit of igneous rocks between the layers of already formed rocks.</em>

The Law of Superposition is, in geology, the basis on which the discipline of sedimentary stratigraphy is based.
