meriva

Answer:

In the given topography, point A is the northern side at a height of 2690 feet. B is at a height of 2220 feet and location C has a height of 2340 feet. A and B are separated by a horizontal distance of 520 feet, B and C are separated by a horizontal distance of 250 feet and C is located at N35°E of point B.

From the above data, we can demarcate the topography of the area. The area is inclined towards the southern side as when we move from point A to C and C to A the elevation gradually decreases.

Thus, <u>the exposed rock unit in that area dips towards the South and the strike direction of this rock is the East-west direction.</u>

Dip is defined as the angle made by a rock bed with respect to a horizontal line and strike refers to the direction of the line that is formed due to the intersection between a rock surface and a horizontal plane.

Dip and strike always perpendicular to one another.

What type of resources are very rare and often hard to acquire? A. renewable only B. nonrenewable only C. renewable and nonrenew
n200080 [17]

Hello,

I would say nonrenewable, because it renews itself at a rate slower than the amount of human use or consumption, so it would be more difficult to obtain. Hope this helps!
