8 0

Answer:

0.00001 %

Explanation:

The distance from satellite = 20000 km

Position range = 2 m

The percentage uncertainty is given by dividing the distance from satellite by the position range of desired accuracy.

Percentage uncertainty is given by

\dfrac{2}{20000\times 10^3}\times 100=0.00001\ \%

The percentage uncertainty that is required is 0.00001 %

Describe a sea-level transgression
Eduardwww [97]
<span>Some geographic areas endure cycles between these two processes called transgressive-regressive sequences. The rocks of western Pennsylvania are one example. Sandy beaches often leave observable records of transgression by covering marsh sediments that were once behind it as it moves inland. The original sediments are then covered by even deeper water sediments, which geologists can trace and record. It is generally believed that transgression will increase in accordance with rising sea levels worldwide</span>
