Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>salinity</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Depth</em> and <em>temperature</em> have a minor influence in the density of liquid <em>water</em>.

Although the density of the liquid water depends on the temperature, the change is small. For instance, the density of water at 0ºC is 0.9998 g/cm³; at 4ºC it is 1.0000 g/cm³; at 30ºC 0.9957 g/cm³.

Most of liquids are incompressible, which means that their density does not change with the pressure; thus, the depth has almost not effect on the density.

On the other hand, <em>salinity</em>, the salt content, does change the density of water. The more the solute, salt, dissolved the higher the density of the seawater. This is so because the dissolved salt increases the mass in a greater proportion than it increases the volume.

An example of this is the high density of the water of Dead Sea, one of the saltiest natural waters of the planet, with a density of 1.24g/cm³. It is impossible not floating with this density.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D layer is the last layer of the soil that is present at the bottom of other layers having the oldest layers. The bottom layer of soil is formed first and when we go up the age of soil layers decreases because it is formed after the parent soil. The fossil that is present at the bottom layer is considered as oldest fossil as compared to those fossils that are present in the above layers of that soil.
