I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. In order for sediment to be transformed into rock, compaction and cementation processes should take place. After these processes, the sedimentary sequence has changed into a sedimentary rock. Hope this answers the question.

Anettt [7]

Answer: All the given ideas

Inner planets rotate slower.

Outer planets rotate faster.

Inner planets take more time to complete a rotation.

Outer planets take less time to complete a rotation.

Planet A is an outer planet.

Planet B is an inner planet.

Explanation:

Taking as a model our Solar System we know the following:

The inner planets (such as our Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars), rotate on their own axis (also called spin) slower than the outer planets (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). This is because of the Sun's huge gravitational field, which holds the nearest planets tightly as they make their revolution around the star.

However, inner planets complete one orbit around the Sun faster than the outer planets, for this same reason (due to their proximity to the Sun's gravitational field).

Hence, if Planet A is an outer planet, and Planet B is an inner planet, then Planet A will spin (rotate on its own axis) faster than Planet B.

Why is it so difficult for<br> scientists to determine how the Jalisco block is<br> moving

NeX [460]

Answer:

Extensional faulting observed in southwestern Mexico has been related to the incipient rifting of the Jalisco block from the Mexican mainland since the Pliocene. On the basis of new structural and geophysical data, we propose that (1) the continental boundaries of the Jalisco block are ancient structures reactivated since the Pliocene at a low (<1 mm/yr) rate of deformation, and (2) Pliocene-Quaternary extensional faulting at the edges of Jalisco block is a basement-controlled intraplate deformation related to plate boundary forces rather than to active continental rifting. The Jalisco block boundaries first developed in response to the uplift of the Puerto Vallarta batholith in pre-Neogene time and underwent a complex contractile deformation before the Pliocene. During Pliocene-Quaternary times north-northeast extension reactivated the northern boundary, forming the Tepic-Zacoalco rift, whereas east-southeast extension formed the northern Colima rift. South of the Colima volcano, active extension is found only west of the so-called southern Colima rift and partly reactivates old northeast-trending basement faults. The parallelism between the subducted Rivera-Cocos plate boundary zone and the eastern neotectonic boundary of the Jalisco block supports eastsoutheastward motion of the southern Mexican blocks induced by the differential motion and oblique subduction of the Cocos and Rivera plates. On the other hand, we envisage Pliocene-Quaternary extension along the northern boundary as an upper-plate response to the low convergence rate and the steep subduction angle of the Rivera plate.

sladkih [1.3K]

The amount of heat they are exposed to has a lot to do with the inferences and observations that they make on the density of the earth's core. The inner core is the most compact due to the fact that they have a lot of direct exposure to heat and the gravity of the earth pressung down on it. The inner core is less subjected to those conditions.
