Suppose that you develop the following hypothesis: Some floods in rivers have enough energy to carry large clasts, i.e., particl
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

b. stratigraphically alternating sequences of sandstones, conglomerates, and shales.

Explanation:

It is unlikely that one would find igneous rocks such as basalt and granite in fluvial environments. Coal is also not usually found in fluvial environments. Limestone prefers shallow and calm waters so would not be moved by water normally. This therefore invalidates options a, c, d, e and f.

For the hypothesis to be true, one would need to find conglomerates as these contain large clasts and are present in fluvial environments. Alternating sequences involving conglomerates and sandstones would indeed show that that some floods were able to carry large clasts.

Voyager I is now about 110 AU from Earth, continuing to record its environment as it approaches the limits of our Solar System.
Monica [59]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

(i) 1 Astronomical Unit (A.U.) = 1.496 x 10^8 Km.

Therefore, distance of Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU = 71 x 1.496 x 10^8 = 1.062 x 10^10 Km.

(ii) The nearest star to Earth than sun is the Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. The Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away from Earth.

As, 1 Light year = 63241.1 AU

The distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth = 4.22 x 63241.1 AU = 266877.3 AU

The distance of the Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU

The number of times the distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth is greater than that of Voyager I is = 266877.3 / 71

= 3758.835 times.

(iii) Speed of light is 1.079 x 10^9 Km/hr

Light travels 1.079 x 10^9 km in 1 hr

Therefore, 1. 062 x 10^10 Km is traveled by light in = (1.062 x 10^10) / (1.079 x 10^9) hr = 9.84 hours

That means when Voyager I was 71 AU from Earth, a observational data from Voyager I at the speed of light took 9.84 hours to reach Earth.
