Answer:

D. Principle of original horizontality

B. Principle of faunal succession

A. Uniformitarianism

C. Principle of superposition

Explanation:

Question 1

The principle of original horizontality is one of the foremost relative dating principle that is wide used in stratigraphy.

It states that "sedimentary rocks are laid down flatly on top one another in a sedimentary basin".

Sedimentary rocks will only vary vertically, but laterally, they are uniform and internally homogeneous in space. This is why most sedimentary rocks are stratified and laid layers upon layers just like the pages of a book.

Each layer is called a bed and often times are laterally continuous in space within the same basin.

Whenever we see beds not horizontally continuous, we can conclude that a tectonic event must have disrupted the sequence and it came after the it was formed.

Question 2

Principle of faunal succession succession was proposed by Williams Smith, an English Geologist and a canal worker in the 19th century.

Based on this principle, sedimentary rocks can placed in their proper chronostratigrahic framework based on the fossils they contain in them.

  • This principle is hinged on theory of evolution.
  • It is widely accepted that organisms evolved from one another.
  • Rocks often bear these records in fossil remains and this can help us appropriately fit rocks to the time they were formed.

Question 3

The principle of uniformitarianism was one of the disruptive proposition in earth science.

A Scottish name James Hutton while in the country side made this proposition as he observed how landform in his native changed with each episode of season.

The principle proposes that "the processes occurring today have occurred in the time past at the same rate".

This way, it was much more easier to understand how land changes in pre-historic times have occurred.

Before his theory, the principle of catastrophism was the widely accepted one. This theory suggested that events occurred rapidly and changes to the surface are much more faster.

Question 4

The principle of superposition is one of the relative dating principles. It proposes that "in an undeformed land sequence, the oldest rock is at the bottom and the youngest on top".

The first sediment to get deposited fills the bottom as it aggregates upward. This leaves the youngest lithology to the top of strata.

The principle is correct for undeformed or undisturbed rock strata.

Where the sediments are disturbed, the formation might be overturned and this principle might be difficult to apply.

Which is correct about an ammeter?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

b. The internal resistance must be much smaller than the other resistances in the circuit.

Explanation:

Ammeter is used to measure the current flowing through a circuit. It is connected in series configuration with the load. In such a scenario the resistance of the ammeter should be negligible so as to make sure that the voltage drop across the resistance of ammeter is zero and it shows the correct reading of the current in the circuit.

If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.
Whitepunk [10]

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
  • The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

  • Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

    Carbon has proton number of 6

 If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.

Can anyone help me to explain theory of relativity??? ​
OLga [1]

Answer:

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves
