Answer:
D. because water and mud behaved in a similar way in the past as they do today
Explanation:
One of the fundamental theories in the field of earth science is the theory of uniformitarianism.
Uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton in the 18th century in Scotland. The theory states that "geologic processes occurring today have occurred in times past and that the present is the key to past".
The simple meaning of the theory is that, the processes on earth today such as weathering, erosion, e.t.c have also occurred in times past. Those processes still occur today and an understanding of such events today will help us have a better insight into the past.
Therefore, ripple marks just as they form today from action of mud and water would be formed in a similar way in the past.
In your hand, the ball has higher potential energy than kinetic because it is still off of the ground but it isn't moving so there is no kinetic. As the ball rises, its potential and kinetic energy increases. At its peak, it has very high potential energy and very low kinetic energy. As it falls, the potential energy decreases but kinetic does not.
The environment affects natural selection. Speices need to adapt to changes in environmnet. The weaker organisms which fail to adapt to environment perish while the stronger ones who adapt to the environment survive. This is how environment affects natural selection.
To find the IUPAC name for compounds, you must memorize prefixes and suffixes and other terms in determining or naming a compound. The IUPAC name for compound ZnO is Oxozinc or Zinc Oxide. I hope this helps you on your assignment.
