Answer:

Glaciation has carved out narrow sea inlets between rocky cliffs in Scandinavia and on Norway’s coasts. These inlets are called  fjords.

Fjord is a landform that is a deep, narrow and elongated sea or lake with steep land on three sides. The opening to the sea is called the mouth of the fjord and is often shallow. The innermost part of the fjord is called the fjord bottom. If the oat is wider than it is long, it is a bay.

Most of the fjords are of tectonic origin and arose when there was a sharp and sudden change in the direction of movement of the tectonic plates. As a result of this, at the edges of plates already compressed by preliminary oncoming motion, numerous cracks and faults form, which are filled with sea water. In this case, the fjord can have a significant depth, up to 800 or more meters, and sometimes more than a kilometer.

Stop 6: Putting it all together. How does the transition in sediment composition seen from the lower to upper Martinsburg format
34kurt

The order in which the changes taking place in tectonic activity in the Martinsburg and Massanutten formation is:

  1. Erosion of the taconian mountains providing abundant carbonate sediment of the Massanutten formation.
  2. Taconian mountain building and the influx of siliciclastic sediment of the upper Martinsburg formation.
  3. Tectonic quiescence and the deposition of lime mud on carbonate platform of the upper Martinburg formation.
  4. Tectonic quiescence & the deposition of lime mud on carbonate platform of the Helderberg formation.

<h3>What order did the tectonic events happen?</h3>

As a result of the erosion of the teconian mountains, there was abundant carbonate for the Massanutten formation.

Some time later, a process of tectonic quiescence led to a deposition of lime mud on the upper Martinsburg formation, and then the Heiderberg formation.

The time required for the moon to orbit around the earth is slightly longer than the earth rotation on its axis. The moon rotates in the same direction that the earth rotates on its axis. Thus, the moon's full rotation requires another 50min or 25 minutes per crossing of the earth's meridian.
