The best answer would be letter D. There is no statement in the choices given that would be considered true concerning continental crust. The crust does not contain radioactive elements, and it is lighter and less dense than the mantle. Also, heat transfer goes from crust to mantle.

Answer:

$5.67\cdot 10^{26} kg$

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around a planet, the gravitational force between the planet and the satellite is equal to the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in circular motion.

So, we can write:

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the satellite

r is the orbital radius of the satellite

v is the speed of the satellite

The equation can be rewritten as

$M=\frac{v^2r}{G}$

Also, we can write the orbital speed as the ratio between the length of the orbit (circumference of the orbit) and orbital period, T:

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$

Substituting into the equation for M,

$M=\frac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

Here we have:

$r=1,222,000 km = 1.222\cdot 10^6 km = 1.222\cdot 10^9 m$ is the orbital radius

$T=16 d \cdot 86400 s/d=1.38\cdot 10^6 s$ is the orbital period

Substituting, we find the mass of the Saturn:

$M=\frac{4\pi^2 (1.222\cdot 10^9)^3}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.38\cdot 10^6)^2}=5.67\cdot 10^{26} kg$

Answer:The law of superposition states that rock strata (layers) farthest from the ground surface are the oldest (formed first) and rock strata (layers) closest to the ground surface are the youngest (formed most recently). A fossil is the remains or traces of plants and animals that lived long ago.

Explanation:

Law of Superposition

The relative ages of rocks are important for understanding Earth's history. New rock layers are always deposited on top of existing rock layers. Therefore, deeper layers must be older than layers closer to the surface. This is the law of superposition.

Something that we hope you have learned from these lessons and from your own life experience is that the laws of nature never change. They are the same today as they were billions of years ago. Water freezes at 0° C at 1 atmosphere pressure; this is always true.

Knowing that natural laws never change helps scientists understand Earth’s past because it allows them to interpret clues about how things happened long ago. Geologists always use present-day processes to interpret the past. If you find a fossil of a fish in a dry terrestrial environment did the fish flop around on land? Did the rock form in water and then move? Since fish do not flop around on land today, the explanation that adheres to the philosophy that natural laws do not change is that the rock moved.
