What is cross bedding in sedimentary rocks

Geography
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago
7 0

Cross-bedding is formed by the downstream migration of bedforms such as ripples or dunes in a flowing fluid. The fluid flow causes sand grains to saltate up the upstream ("stoss") side of the bedform and collect at the peak until the angle of repose is reached.

We can determine the age of most Mesozoic rocks through "carbon dating," which relies on the radioactive decay of Carbon-14.
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

Carbon dating using the radioactive decay of Carbon-14 is reliable up to 50,000 years. It is mostly used for living organisms that were younger than that period. Rocks are much older than 50,000 years and rocks from the Mesozoic era would not be able to be dated using Carbon-14. It will require another element with longer half-lives in order to determine ages higher than 65 million years ago.
