What is one reason why Rock layers are not horizontal?

Geography

Westkost [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The rock layers are initially formed in a horizontal manner as the sediments are deposited over one another, forming horizontal rocks.

But these rock layers are not always found to be horizontal. They are sometimes tilted. This is due to the compressional stress that acts on the rock layers from both sides, which results in the tilting, faulting, and folding of the layers.

In addition to this, these layers are sometimes eroded due to the agents such as wind, water, and ice, and so these layers are not found to be horizontal.

One reason that rock layers are not horizontal are because of erosion and it also depends we’re you find the rock layer

What does the wavelength correspond to in a sound wave
Oksana_A [137]

Answer: 1 m

Explanation:

It is simply the size of a wave, measured from one peak to the next. If one imagines a sound wave as something like a water wave, then the wavelength is simply the distance from the crest of the one wave to the next nearest crest. Thus, if the distance between two peaks is 1m, then the wavelength is 1 m.

How do we know plate tectonics exist (list 4-5 pieces of evidence) and why are there different boundaries?
Vanyuwa [196]
Continent jig-saw shapes when puzzled and combined together, formed one big continent - Pangea, and was separated by drifts. Fossil comparisons of different species were discovered into two different, separated continents in which when you combine them, they were one in the past. Seismic, volcanic, and geothermal activity are found along imagined plate boundaries.  Plates were actually rubbing against each other as evidence is seen on the formed mountain ranges. Paleomagnetism, magnetic field placement in the layers of the rock are present. <span> </span>

Explain how you can determine the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom of any of the elements listed in the ta
notsponge [240]
Answer: with the atomic number.

Explanation:

The table is missing, but I can explain you how to do it, which is the best thing for you because it will permit you understand and solve problems of this kind by yourself.

1) Every element in the periodic table (there are 118 element) are ordered by atomic number. Not two elements have the same atomic number and all the elements from tomic number 1 to atomic number 118 are listed on the periodic table.

2) The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the element.

3) The atoms of the elements are neutral particles, and given that the magnitude of the charge of a proton is the same than the magnitude of the charge of an electron, the number of electons in an atom is the same number of protons.

4) Here are some examples:

Element/symbol   atomic number    number of protons    number of electrons

Hydrogen, H          1                         1                                 1
Helium, He            2                          2                                 2
Lithium, Li             3                          3                                 3
Berilium. Be          4                          4                                 4
Boron, B                5                          5                                 5
Carbon, C              6                          6                                 6

For ions it is different, because ions are atoms with charges, this is they have lost or gained electrons.

Every positive charge on an ion means that it has loss one electron.

Every negative charge on an ion means that it has gain one electron.
