When scientists use the law of superposition to determine the age of a fossil, they go by the principle of 'every undisturbed layer of rock is older than the layer above it. This is not the most precise way of determining age, and in fact this method can only reveal the approximate age, but not the exact one.

<u>Answer:</u>

When scientists use the law of superposition, the type of fossil aging they use is known as relative aging.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Scientists use different methods of aging to determine the 'age of rock fossils'. One of these techniques is that of relative aging.
  • In this technique, the scientists 'determine the age of the bottom-most rock fossil' first and go by the principle that every new layer of rock superpositioned above the lower rock is comparatively younger than the lower rock.

During what type of tide is the high tide the highest and the low tide the lowest?
Ugo [173]
<h2>Answer: Spring tides and Neap tides. </h2>

The tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.

In this sense, there are two very special cases:

The Spring and Neap tides.

<h2>Spring tides </h2>

Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the tides higher. During these lunar phases, <u>the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the </u><u>gravitational attraction power is greater. </u>

<h2>Neap tides </h2>

Occur when <u>the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle</u> (90\º), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the <u>minimum</u>. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.

25 billion tons of soil are lost through erosion as a result of farming every year . What do you think happens to that soil ? In
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Soils are the key ingredient for the plants and crops to grow. A large amount of soil is eroded every year due to the practice of farming. This is about 25 billion tons of soils.

Due to the various type of agricultural practices, the topsoil comprising the valuable minerals are continuously eroded by factors such as wind and water. This results in the increasing loss of soil fertility, and also it can lead to the occurrence of droughts, sandstorms, and dust bowls.

Dust bowls are the region where there occurs no rainfall and absence of vegetation, and soils are eroded drastically making a sandy dust environment, and affecting the ecosystem.

In order to prevent these effects, certain steps must be taken, and they are as follows-

  • Planting more trees and crops so that the wind cannot cause much impact on the area.
  • The waste vegetative particles and matters must be allowed to distribute evenly over the surface of these areas, so that wind cannot easily transport these sediments.
  • Mulching of the soil must be done.
  • By constructing the retaining walls.
