<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.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Adaption is a gradual process of change or modifications of animal body either physically, structurally or behavioral changes in order to thrive and adjust better in the changing environment for survival.

Explanation:

Adaptation could takes by exhibiting a sort of mimicry to the habitat in which the animal thrive. Also it could takes place by the process of structural changes that blends them well with the environment. Classical Example is the adaptation by Polar bear. In the coolest arctic region, polar bear possesses long white furs with big sized paws and long hair. This help them to blend with white snowy color of environment and the big sized paws prevents them from slipping in ice and also could dig in the ice to take shelter is hostile weather like snowstorm. They have thick layers of fat beneath the skin that keeps them warm. Also they are capable of swimming , in spite of a big body to facilitate their feeding on fishes on arctic sea.
