The correct answer is option A

The age of the rocks can be determined by the studying the faults that is always younger than the rocks it cuts through.

A fault is a crack or break caused in the rock. Any layer of the rock which is cut by the fault is older and the fault formed is younger.

There are many other ways which is used by the geologists to determine the age of the rock.

Option A, a fault is always younger than the rock it cuts through

Reason:  

Basically there are three modes of determining the age of rock

1) In a sedimentary rock, the layer at the bottom is the oldest. It is called as law of super position

2) If a rock layers lies below an extrusion, then it is always older than the extrusion

3)a fault is always younger than the rock it cuts through

Describe what happens to a meal of oily beans and maize from the time of ingestion up to the time of aborption
alexgriva [62]

Food is chewed and mixed by the teeth and tongue before being rolled into boluses by peristalsis and entering the stomach through the cardiac sphincter. In the stomach, gastric juice contains pepsinogen, which is activated to pepsin, which breaks down proteins in beans into shorter peptides. Finally, food is churned and allowed into the duodenum via the pyloric sphincter muscle. Finally, bile Trypsin breaks down proteins into shorter peptides, and pancreatic juice, which is released by the pancreas, contains pancreatic lipase, which breaks down bean oil into fatty acids and glycerol. When food enters the ileum, where succus entericus is secreted, it contains the enzymes maltase, peptidase, and lipase, which break down the remaining lipids (oil) into fatty acids and glycerol, which are then absorbed through the lacteals of the villi. Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose, which is then absorbed.

The Digestion and Absorption Process

Even before you put food in your mouth, digestion starts. Your body notifies your brain that it is time to eat when you feel hungry. Your body's ability to prepare for eating is influenced by sights and odours. Your brain receives a message when you smell food. The mouth is subsequently instructed by the brain to prepare, and you begin to salivate in anticipation of a mouthwatering meal.
