B. The presence of unconformities 
Alona [7]2 years ago

The presence of unconformities can be used to determine the relative age of two rocks. Therefore, the correct answer is B

Unconformity refers to a non-depositional surface which separates two strata of different age. Unconformity shows that deposited sedimentary rock was not continuous. Unconformity indicates that the older layer was exposed to erosion before the younger layer.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The upper rocks, that is, the rocks that are higher than the unconformities are younger than those beneath the conformity.

In general, an unconformity indicates the period when no sediments were preserved.

The types of unconformities include

  • Disconformities: this is a type of unconformity between parallel layers of sedimentary rocks. It represents the time of erosion and they are characterized by some qualities of subarea emotion.
  • Nonconformity: this is between an ingenious rock and sedimentary rock when the sedimentary rock was placed on eroded igneous rock
  • Angular unconformity: this is a type of unconformity in which a parallel layer of sedimentary rocks are deposited on eroded layers and generate discordance with the horizontal layers.

Other types of unconformity include:

  • Paraconformity
  • Buttress unconformity
  • Blended unconformity

Therefore, the presence of unconformities can be used to determine the relative age of two rocks.

Which term names the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Species

Explanation:

Species is the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

Let's break down each word in the question:

"Organisms" means living thing. It can be a plant or animal like we usually think of, but it also includes the really small single-celled living things like some bacteria.

"Interbreed" means to mate with each other.

"Fertile" means that the living thing can also have babies.

"Offspring" means the children that are born.

"Fertile offspring" means that the children that are made must be able to have babies of their own. For example, if a frog and a bird could interbreed, they might produce offspring (children). But, if those frog-birds cannot also have children, then frog-bird is not a species.
