Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

According to the law of cross-cutting relationships, in a geological feature where an igneous rock body is intruded by any intrusive body such as a fault and d(i)kes, then the intrusive bodies are considered to be younger than the surrounding igneous rock.

In the given condition, the basalt is the older surrounding rock which is being cut across by a fault, and this follows the principle of cross-cutting relationship.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

How do I figure this out

An Isosceles triangle has two even parts, you add them up. For example 60 degree plus another 60 degree angle is 120 degrees. And the limit is 180 degrees, so in order to get that last angle, you'd have to subtract 160 from 180. And that'd be 20 degrees. I couldn't see the question but I hope this helps you in a way

Answer:

a. True.

b. False.

c. True.

d. True.

Explanation:

A landform refers to a geomorphic or natural feature of the Earth's surface, which typically makes its terrain. Some examples of landforms on planet earth are mountain, plains, volcanoes, valley, hills and plateau.

Basically, the tectonic plates such as the oceanic and continental lithosphere interact in three (3) ways and these are; divergent, transform and convergent boundaries.

a. Plates shift the continents around as they move, so Earth's surface is constantly changing.

b. False: the contacts between plates are called passive margins. A passive margin is a region where continents have rifted apart and are then separated by a body of water such as an ocean.

c. True: plates may consist of both ocean floor and continental crust, but never just oceanic or continental crust.

d. True: there are 120 major tectonic plates.
