The cause of acquiring cancer does not only rely on genetics. Cancer can be caused by a lot of factors and the most common factor considered why it statistically appear to run in families is the family's lifestyle. Most forms of cancer are lifestyle-related, and can be prevented. For example, Colon cancer. Usually a person is at risk to acquire colon cancer when he/she consumes too much processed meats and meats that are cooked at a very high temperature, alcohol use and overeating. Usually this kind of eating lifestyle is shared by the family.

Answer:

1. C.

2. D

3. D.

4. D.

Explanation:

1. Landslides can be initiated in slopes already on the verge of movement by rainfall, snowmelt, changes in water level, stream erosion, changes in ground water, earthquakes, volcanic activity, disturbance by human activities, or any combination of these factors.

2. Landslides are geologic phenomena that can happen suddenly or through imperceptively slow downslope movement. ... A "translational" landslide can happen rapidly and result in all of the soil on a hillside being stripped off and filling the area at the bottom of the slope.

3. Sedimentary rock contains fossils because it was built up layer upon layer, often trapping and preserving animals, plants, footprints, and more within the layers of sediment.

4. The Uplift of the Colorado Plateau. The Kaibab Limestone, the uppermost layer of rock at Grand Canyon, was formed at the bottom of the ocean. ... The action of plate tectonics lifted the rocks high and flat, creating a plateau through which the Colorado River could cut down.

<em>Hope this helps! :D</em>
