Answer: Sedimentary rocks

The principle of superposition is the basic principle of geology, which states that on examining the sequence of the strata, the stratum that is younger lies as the top whereas the older one rests at the bottom. This principle applies to the sedimentary rocks. As, the sediments are formed and piled one over the other, the compaction of the sediments occurs due to heat and pressure will result in formation of the sedimentary rocks.

Measuring the amount of deuterium in the universe allows us to set a limit on _________.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

the density of ordinary (baryonic) matter in the universe

Explanation:

 Deuterium detection is of interest because the amount of it may be related to the amount of dark matter in the universe, but precise measurements have been difficult to obtain. Due to the way in which deuterium was created in the Big Bang, an exact measurement of the amount of deuterium would allow scientists to set limits on the models of the great explosion.

Also, an exact measure of deuterium would be an indicator of the cosmic density of barions (ordinary matter), and that density of barions would indicate whether ordinary matter is dark and is found in regions such as black holes, gas clouds or brown dwarfs, or it is bright and can be found in the stars. This information will help scientists who try to understand the very beginning of our universe.

What properties of a sound wave determine volume, pitch, and timbre?
fiasKO [112]
Sound waves are changes in pressure generated by vibrating molecules. The physical characteristics of sound waves influence the three psychological features of sound: loudness, pitch, and timbre. Loudness depends on the amplitude,or height, of sound waves. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound perceived.
