The correct answer is - The Principle of Superposition.


The Principle of Superposition suggests that the newest rocks are on the top while the oldest rocks on the bottom of the layers, or with other words, the new rocks are always deposited on top of the older layers, thus making a horizontal type of layers in proper order from the oldest to the youngest layers as we go from the bottom to the top. By this principle, it comes as the lava flows or the deposited sediments are covering the layers that are already in place and are naturally ordering themselves by age.

Answer:

Principle of Superposition.

Explanation:

The superposition principle is the geological principle that affirms the existence of soil sedimentation, or over time. This sedimentation allows the deposition of strata in chronological order on top of layers of soil or rocks, creating more layers. As this process is chronological, it is possible to notice that the deeper layers are older layers in relation to the newer layers, which were deposited more recently.

Climate change is caused mainly by changes in the balance between the amount of solar radiation received by Earth and the amount
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Yes, that is very much true, just because climate change is caused mainly by changes in the balance between the amount of solar radiation received by Earth and the amount of heat radiated back into space by the Earth.

  • <u>Climate change:</u>

<em>"The change in stability of the environmental factors or the negative effects  in the equilibrium inside the environment is called as the climate change."</em>

  • <u>Global Warming And the green house effect:</u>

<em>"The overall rise in temperature of the earth spheres and its environment is termed as global warming, and its due the green house effect(the negative effect due to the increase level of CFC's)."</em>

  • <u>The trapped Sun radiation inside the earth's sphere:</u>

<em>"Due to large number of CFC's inside the earths sphere, as they results in trapping the radiation which needs to be radiated back out of the earth's sphere. Causing the rise in temperature of the overall environment."</em>

Explanation:

  • The chloro, floro and carbon elements which are also termed as the CFC's in general are created due increase level of industrial waste presence in the environment, leading to more solar radiation trapped inside the outer sphere of the earth's protective shield. Due, to this process the gasses are trapped inside the earth's sphere resulting in the rise in temperature.
  • <u>Consequences of Climate Change:</u>
  1. As our earth passed from various levels and situations and as there were also some ice ages, which almost resulted in creating inhabitable situations for the living beings.
  2. But, these days earth is facing some alarming situations in the form of high temperature in its environment, which is some how leading to some thing more worse.
  3. There will be less resources of food in the near future and most importantly there will be species like polar bears and some marine animals who will face extinction due to the rise in temperature inside the environment.
