Answer:

Option C, The strata were moved after they were deposited

Explanation:

Options for the question are -

A The strata were deposited at an angle.

B Fossils were deposited within each stratum.

C The strata were moved after they were deposited.

D The strata were deposited in a small area.

Solution

Sedimentary rock layers are known as strata. Each stratum is a distinctive layer that deposits one over the other in a manner that the oldest layer lays at the bottom while the youngest layer deposits at the top. Generally these strata’s are laid down horizontally. Hence the layers which appear to be tilted have tilted after deposition only. Likewise any other change in strata is terms of its position or structure generally takes place after the deposition of that layer.  

Thus, option C is correct

When the air inside a hot air balloon is heated, it expands and takes up a larger volume. As a result, it floats higher into the
tresset_1 [31]
The mass remains the same given that the number of air molecules remain the same and none did escape into the atmosphere.
As heat is being absorbed by the air molecules, they vibrate more vigorously and the electrostatic forces of attraction between the molecules weaken and they become further apart. Hence there is lesser number of air molecules per volume, indicating that density has decreased.

How are the protists with flagella similar to the protists with cilia?
skelet666 [1.2K]
The protists with flagella; move by beating their long whip like structures called flagella. They can have one or more flagella that help them move. Many of these type of protists live in the bodies of other organisms.
On the other hand, protists with cilia; move by beating these tiny hair-like structures (cilia). The cilia act as tiny oars that allows the protist to move through its watery environment. The cilia also help the protists capture food particles. Therefore; both are able to move food particles towards themselves using the respective structures.
