Answer:

The correct option is option A.

Explanation:

Charles Lyell was a Scottish geologist who demonstrated the power of known natural causes in explaining Earth's history. He is best known as the author of Principles of Geology , which presented to a wide public audience the idea that Earth was shaped by the same natural processes still in operation today, operating at similar intensities.

The other option are not correct as the relative works are not as indicated.

Answer :

(A). Charles Lyell correctly explained how fossils form and formulated some of the basic principles of relative dating

Explanation:

Charles Lyell was a Scottish geologist who demonstrated the power of known natural causes in explaining Earth's history.

Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events, without actually deciding its absolute age.

Charles Lyell's principle of inclusions and components, explains that, with sedimentary rocks, if inclusions are found in a formation, then the inclusions must be older than the formation that contains them.

Explanation:

  • Leeward means in the opposite direction of winds, such as westerlies and trade winds these terms used by sailing ships.
  • Leeward islands are a group of Islands, located in the northeastern Caribbean sea located east of Puerto Rico, they are also referred to the northern islands of lesser Antilles chain.

Anne releases a stone from a height of 2 meters. She measures the kinetic energy of the stone at 9.8 joules at the exact point i
nlexa [21]

Eₖ = √1/2 mv²

Eₖ/v² = 1/2 m

2Eₖ/v² = m

mgh = 1/2 mv²

gh = 1/2 v²

2gh = v²

v = √2gh

= √2 × 10 N/kg × 2 m

= 6.324 ms⁻¹

m = 9.8/(6424)²

= 9.8/39.993

= 0.245 g

I am not sure if it's correct.

i transposed for m in the first equation then to find the velocity I combined the potential and kinetic energy equation. there was no mass because velocity doesn't depend on the mass

Then I used earth's gravitational field strength (g) 10 N/kg and the 2 m was the height provided in the question

you can try working and see if you get the same
