Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction

2. Compare and Contrast A fault cuts through
Elenna [48]

Explanation:

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. The fault labeled "E" cuts through all three sedimentary rock layers (A, B,and C) and also cuts through the intrusion (D). So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen and known of.
