The process characterized by spreading the sediments horizontally, placing the youngest on top and the oldest to the bottom is called sedimentation. When the sediments deposit in water, it spreads flat in all directions until it runs out of material and pinches off or it hits a barrier.

Elucidate the astronomical methods that have provided insights about the universe
yarga [219]

One astronomical method used that provided an insight about the universe is the LIGO (the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory). This method helps us detect gravitational waves emitted by astronomical bodies. The finding of gravitational waves will lead into understanding the behavior of other bodies that we did not know exist. The consequences are; one, we can measure the activity between two bodies in orbit in the universe, two, scientist can estimate the merging of two bodies in the universe every 15 minutes by using.

svlad2 [7]

Answer: 2)  secondary succession

Explanation:

Ecological succession is the change in the biotic community of the ecosystem due to the changes occurring in the abiotic components such as water, soil, atmosphere and others. These changes occur with respect to time until the ecosystem attains the stability.

A secondary succession can be define as the changes which occur after a catastrophic event or ecological disturbance. Such changes brings stability with the help of precursors of previously existing species at the same place.

According to the given situation, secondary succession could have occurred this is because of the fact that the forests fire can burn the vegetation in an area. The burn sites will regrow into a healthy forests because of some of the precursors of previously existing plant species like seeds, stem, roots and others which will help in regrowth of new plants.

Which undefined geometric term is described as a location on a coordinate plane that is designated by an ordered pair, (x, y)?
gregori [183]

The undefined geometric term that is used to describe a location on a coordinate plane and is designated by an ordered pair, (x, y) is a point.

<h3>What are coordinates?</h3>

A coordinate system in geometry is a system that employs one or more integers, or coordinates, to define the position of points or other geometric components on a manifold such as Euclidean space.

In terms of coordinate geometry, there are only three terms that are not defined point, line, and plane.

Point:- A point is a figure that has no dimensions and is used to locate it on a coordinate plane. The figure's position is represented by an ordered pair of points (x,y) on the coordinate plane, where x = abscissa and y = ordinate.

Line:- A line is a one-dimensional, indefinite, straight route on a plane with no breadth.

Plane:- A plane is a two-dimensional flat surface that may be extended indefinitely.

Hence, the undefined geometric term that is used to describe a location on a coordinate plane and is designated by an ordered pair, (x, y) is a point.
