Hi,

Scientists have used rock samples to date the Earth's past. They also might use Steno's principles. 

Relative dating is the determination of the age of a rock or geological event by comparing with other rock/ geologic events. Absolute dating is a form of geologic dating that gives an actual date or age in history that the item was formed or died in years. 

Steno's principles are: 

Law of superposition - Bottom layer is the oldest, top layer of the youngest In undisturbed layers of sedimentary rock or magma.

Original horizontally - When sedimentary rock layers form, they are "created in a horizontal form.

The Principle of Lateral Continuity -<span> States that layers of sediment initially extend </span>laterally<span> in all directions.

Which of the following is not an accurate statement about Russia? It is the largest country in the world in terms of land area.
victus00 [196]

The correct answer is - Of its mountain ranges, the Urals are the highest.


This is the statement that is not accurate, the Urals are not the highest mountain range in Russia, there's multiple mountains that are much higher than the Urals. In fact, the Urals are not even a mountain range that falls into the category of high mountain, but in a medium height mountain range.

Even though the height is not recognizable for the Urals, their trademark is their length, they are the longest mountain range in Russia.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

  (11, -13)

The location of P is specified so that ...

  (P -A) = (4/5)(B - A)

  P = A + 4/5B - 4/5A = 4/5B +1/5A

  P = (4B +A)/5 = (4(13, -15) +(3, -5))/5 = (55, -65)/5

  P = (11, -13)

The desired point is (11, -13).
