s depositing today. Just like the sediment on top, the sediment in the rock layers was deposited by the river.
How might the geologist estimate how long it took to deposit the sediment seen in the rock layers?
A. Use the layers' thickness and the current rate of deposition to calculate the time.

B. Time how long it takes to dig a trench as deep as the rock layers.

c. Construct a box as tall as the rock layers, and time how long it takes to fill it with a shovel.

D. The only way to estimate the time needed would be to sit for a few hours and watch new layers form.

  • acid + base (alkali) → salt + water
  • E.g HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

If you collect 62 ml of gravitational water in a graduated cylinder and you started with 100 ml of water that you poured through
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

38.

Explanation:

All water that are present in soil is not available for the plants. Gravitation water is present in soil due to the gravitational force. The gravitation water remains for short time and cannot be consumed by the plants.

The capillary water is available to the plants and this water is attained in the soil pores. The total water present in soil sample is 100 ml. 62ml is gravitation water. The volume of capillary water = total water - gravitation water = 100 - 62 =  38ml.

Thus, the answer is 38ml.
