Answer:

3. Rocks erode and sediment is deposited.

4. No sediment is deposited over a long time.

Explanation:

An unconfomity is a break in stratigraphic record of a place usually as a result of non-deposition or erosion.

In a sequence of sedimentary rock strata some surfaces called unconformity surfaces gives clues about the depositional history of a particular place. During an unconfomity, there is usually no sediment deposition and when deposition resumes, the underlying rocks and the new ones will not share the same attribute especially by age. Unconformity can also be as a result of erosion of a sequence.

In the case of non- conformity, a sedimentary rock is deposited above an igneous or sedimentary rock. Option 5 is a simple example of an igneous intrusion called a sill. It is not unconformity.

What statement best describes an independent variable?
prisoha [69]
<span>Answer : D. The factor that's changed by the experimenter and impacts the dependent variable.<span>

</span><span>An independent variable is a variable in which you can manipulate or control while the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. An example of an independent variable is the running while the dependent variable is your pulse rate. The pulse rate depends on how fast and how long is the distance of your run. The pulse rate maybe higher and faster if you’ve run quite long and will be close to stable if you only run for a short distance and slow speed.</span></span>

You cut your hand while slicing a tomato one week later the cut is gone.. what happened?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Your body decided to heal that! but however depending on the depth and width of the cut the matter may heal more slowly! Ouch!! This is called cell reproduction. It happens when your body is hurt physically not emotionally! When this person was slicing the tomato if it was a deep long cut if they healed in a week then there may be a super human problem here! Notta bad thing but still kinda crazy! don't you think? So yessss I hope that this is helpful to you.
