dalvyx [7]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Principle of Superposition  causes the youngest layers to be on top.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Principle of Superposition states that when two or more waves having similar intensity and characteristics, intersect each other at the same point, some displacements occur as a result.
  • This displacement is equal to the sum of the displacements of both the waves.
  • The stratification of sedimentary rocks is based on the same principle. Thus, when two layers of soil come in contact, the younger soil layer deposit above the older one.

Is ductility considered as a physical property or a chemical property
Elena L [17]

Ductility is a physical property.

A physical property of a material is a property that can be measured or observed without changing the composition of the material.

In this case ductility is a physical property. It is defined as the  property of a material associated with the ability to be drawn or stretched into a wire without breaking. The chemical identity of the material is not affected, that is  it does not change.

Example of ductile materials include gold, silver, copper, erbium, terbium and samarium.

Other examples of physical properties are:

1. Solubility

2. Melting point.

3. Boiling point.

4. Color

5. Density.
