The Suez Canal is a way of reaching the Mediterranean if you're in the Red Sea on a ship, and reaching the Red Sea if you're in the Mediterranean - without having to go all around Africa. It shortens the time of travel and very often the cost and is the only possibility for transporting goods that can spoil.

How do scientists determine the relative age of rocks?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Super position

Faunal Succession

Crosscutting Relationships

Inclusions

Explanation:

Superposition: The most basic concept used in relative dating is the law of superposition. Simply stated, each bed in a sequence of sedimentary rocks (or layered volcanic rocks) is younger than the bed below it and older than the bed above it. This law follows two basic assumptions: (1) the beds were originally deposited near horizontal, and (2) the beds were not overturned after their deposition.

Faunal Succession: Similar to the law of superposition is the law of faunal succession, which states that groups of fossil animals and plants occur throughout the geologic record in a distinct and identifiable order. Following this law, sedimentary rocks can be “dated” by their characteristic fossil content. Particularly useful are index fossils, geographically widespread fossils that evolved rapidly through time.

Crosscutting Relationships: Relative ages of rocks and events may also be determined using the law of crosscutting relationships, which states that geologic features such as igneous intrusions or faults are younger than the units they cut across.

Inclusions: Inclusions, which are fragments of older rock within a younger igneous rock or coarse-grained sedimentary rock, also facilitate relative dating. Inclusions are useful at contacts with igneous rock bodies where magma moving upward through the crust has dislodged and engulfed pieces of the older surrounding rock.

What is albedo feedback
Flura [38]
Albedo feedback is a positive feedback climate process where a change in the area of ice caps, glaciers, and sea ice alters the albedo and surface temperature of a planet. ... However, if warm temperatures decrease the ice cover and the area is replaced by water or land the albedo would decrease.
