Unconformities are gaps in the rock record

Answer:

 The gaps in the rock are known as discontinuities that are basically caused by erosion. The unconformities in the rock is mainly caused by the erosion that represent the irregular line on the surface of the rock. The layer of each rock create a gap between the upper and the lower layer.  

Sometimes, the process of the over thrust can cause the gap on the surface of the rocks as the layer of the rock are set one over the another in the geological rock records.

You can increase the vapor pressure of a liquid by:
irga5000 [103]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by vapors or gas on the surface of a liquid.

When we increase the temperature of a liquid substance then there will occur an increase kinetic energy of the molecules. As a result, they will move readily from one place to another.

Hence, liquid state of a substance will change into vapor state of the substance. This means that an increase in temperature will lead to an increase in vapor pressure of the substance.

Thus, we can conclude that you can increase the vapor pressure of a liquid by increasing temperature.

Answer:

(1) The orbits are ellipses, with focal points ƒ1 and ƒ2 for the first planet and ƒ1 and ƒ3 for the second planet. The Sun is placed in focal point ƒ1.

(2) The two shaded sectors A1 and A2 have the same surface area and the time for planet 1 to cover segment A1 is equal to the time to cover segment A2.

(3) The total orbit times for planet 1 and planet 2 have a ratio a13/2 : a23/2

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

U1 = 1.6 m/s

U2 = -1.1 m/s

M1 = 1850 kg

M2 = 1400 kg

V1 = 0.27 m/s

Using momentum- collision equation,

M1U1 + M2U2 = M1V1 + M2V2

1850 × 1.6 - 1400 × 1.1 = 1850 × 0.27 + 1400 × V2

1420 = 499.5 + 1400V2

V2 = 0.6575 m/s

B.

KE = 1/2 × MV^2

KEa1 + KEa2 = KEb1 + KEb2

Delta KE = KE2 - KE1

KEa1 = 2368 J

KEb1 = 847 J

KEa2 = 67.433 J

KEb2 = 302.6 J

KE1 = KEa1 + KEb1

= 3215 J

KE2 = 370.033 J

Delta KE = -2845 J.
