B. There is no key on the map

Explanation:

Shania would be unable to determine the oldest formation because there is no key on the map. The map does not contain the proper details to be used to infer age relationships among the formations.

  • A map presents a three dimensional world on two dimensional paper or surface.
  • To infer relative ages, a cross section from the two dimensional representation is the most desired.
  • From the cross section, the third dimension can carefully be studied and ages inferred.
  • There is little to no way we can infer relative age relationship on this surface.
  • To do that, we would require a key. Most times, the key shows the stratigraphic column which puts rocks in their correct ages.
  • Most keys are arranged with formations from the oldest at the bottom and the youngest on top.
  • Since this map lacks a key, direction, scale and other map elements, it would not be possible to infer relative ages of the rock.

Most of the land in russia could be described as
Sergio [31]

Answer:

A: Frozen taiga

Explanation:

Russia is the largest country in the world, and its land has several different characteristics. One of them though dominates by far, and that is the taiga, which is occupying more area than all of the other biomes in the country combined.

The taiga is stretching across all of the country from west to east, while the rest of the biomes are north and south of it. The land is covered with dense coniferous forests, representing the largest continuous forest in the whole world.

The taiga is not the most pleasant place for living though. The majority of the year is winter, and the temperatures are extremely cold, and in some parts of it they are as low as in Antarctica. There is lot of snowfall, usually several meters deep. The short summers are mild and very humid. Everything defrosts so big portion of the taiga is becoming marshy.

How are the rivers formed? Explain.​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

A river forms from water moving from a higher elevation to a lower elevation, all due to gravity. When rain falls on the land, it either seeps into the ground or becomes runoff, which flows downhill into rivers and lakes, on its journey towards the seas.
