B. Sedimentary layers form and then are tilted.

C. Igneous rock forms between sedimentary layers

The principle of cross-cutting relationships is a relative dating method that was first developed by Nicholas Steno in 1669. The principle states that the geologic structure which cuts another is the younger of the two structures. There are many major types of cross cutting relationships which include; geomorphological relationships, intrusional relationships, sedimentological relationship, structural relationships, and paleontological relationships.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The Russian Federation has a centralized political system, with power concentrated

in a president and a prime minister, a weak multiparty political system dominated

by the ruling United Russia party, and a bicameral legislature (Federal Assembly).

The Federal Assembly consists of a lower house (State Duma) and an upper house

(Federation Council). The country has an estimated population of 142 million.

Security forces generally reported to civilian authorities; however, in some areas of

the Northern Caucasus, there were serious problems with civilian control of

security forces.

There were numerous reports of governmental and societal human rights problems

and abuses during the year. The restrictions on political competition and

interference in local and regional elections in ways that restricted citizens' right to

change their government continued. There were reports of: attacks on and killings

of journalists by unidentified persons for reasons apparently related to their

activities; physical abuse by law enforcement officers, particularly in the North

Caucasus region; and harsh and often life-threatening prison conditions. Arbitrary

detention and politically motivated imprisonments were problems. The government

controlled many media outlets and infringed on freedoms of speech and

expression, pressured major independent media outlets to abstain from critical

coverage, and harassed and intimidated some journalists into practicing self-

censorship. The Internet remained by and large free and provided citizens access to

an increased amount of information that was not available on state-controlled

media. The government limited freedom of assembly, and police at times used

violence to prevent groups from engaging in peaceful protest. Rule of law and due

process violations remained a problem.

3) When the temperature of a blackbody increases from 900 K to 2300 K, by what factor does the total power of the electromagneti
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The electromagnetic radiation per-unit- area increase by 42.65 times.

Explanation:

The radiation per-unit- area (P) is directly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. Thus,

P ∝ T⁴

For, when the temperature is raised from T₀ to T₁ , the radiation per-unit- area is related to as:

\frac {P_1}{P_0}=\frac {T_1^4}{T_0^4}

T₀ =  900 K

T₁ = 2300 K

\frac {P_1}{P_0}=\frac {2300^4}{900^4}

So,

<u>P₁ = 42.65 P₀</u>

<u>The electromagnetic radiation per-unit- area increase by 42.65 times.</u>
