Answer:

C the Law of Superposition

Explanation:

Basically the law of Superposition is applied in this regard. The law states that "the oldest layer is on the bottom and the youngest layer is on top".

When we find fossils at a particular depth we can relatively date a rock based on the strata we find them. A fossil in place in bottom beds will be older than the one in the topmost layer. Fossils also succeed one another in a definite pattern according to the principle of fossil and fauna succession.

Artemon [7]

You did not provide the options. However, the options are

I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

I = 9.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 3.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

Answer:

The order of the resistors from the highest to the lowest is:

I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

I = 9.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 3.0, R= 2.0 ohms

Explanation:

ohm's law states that voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. V = IR

Based on this formula, the voltages in each of the resistors are calculated below from the highest to the lowest

For I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

V = 8 * 8 =64 volts

For I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

V = 6 * 4 =24 volts

For I = 9.0, R= 2.0 ohms

V = 9 * 2 =18 volts

For I = 3.0, R= 2.0 ohms

V = 3 * 2 =6 volts

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?

stepan [7]

The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>
