When geologists conclude that the Grand Canyon sequence of rocks was formed through hundreds of millions of years of deposition,
mountain building, and erosion, they are basing this conclusion on the principle of ________ which states that ________. A) catastrophism; most rock formations were created as a result of supernatural processes
B) catastrophism; a single, large flood was responsible for the creation of the rock sequence
C) uniformitarianism; all geologic processes take immense amounts of time to occur and always occur at the same rate
D) uniformitarianism; the geologic processes that operated in the past are the same as those that operate today, and they occurred in accordance with the same laws of nature that are operating today
D) uniformitarianism; the geologic processes that operated in the past are the same as those that operate today, and they occurred in accordance with the same laws of nature that are operating today
Explanation:
When geologists conclude that the Grand Canyon sequence of rocks was formed through hundreds of millions of years of deposition, mountain building, and erosion, they are basing this conclusion on the principle of <u>uniformitarianism </u>which states that <u>the geologic processes that operated in the past are the same as those that operate today, and they occurred in accordance with the same laws of nature that are operating today</u>.
Uniformitarianism is a theory in geology which states that the changes in the earth's crust during geological history is as a result of actions of uniform and continuous processes, that the geological processes occurring currently are same processes that have been occurring in history and every part of the world and is continuous.
Internal cost are the cost included in the price of a product or good while external cost are third-party cost, they are cost incurred as a result of the use of a product.
Wages paid to workers in car factories are included in the price of the car and as such are considered as internal cost.
