Submarine canyons are usually found in continental shelf.

A continental shelf is a part of a continental crust that lies under a shelf sea (an area of relatively shallow water).

Submarine canyons are narrow steep-sided valleys that cut into continental shelf or slope of the ocean. Submarine canyons are usually found in continental shelf where they begin as shallow valleys and later deepen away from land as they cut into the steeper continental slope. Different mechanisms such as erosion, turbidity currents and underwater landslides are thought to be responsible for the formation of submarine canyons.

The diagram below shows the layers of a rock having a trilobite:
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Fossil B belongs to the same period as the trilobite.

Explanation:

The Law of Superposition states that the youngest rocks will always be found on top of older rocks. So as you dig deeper and deeper, the rocks you find will be older and older.

An illustration of the problem:

<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>

Fossil C: Two Semi-circles (<u>Top</u> Layer = <em>Youngest</em>)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fossil B: Rhombus with Diagnonal & <em>Trilobite</em> (<u>Middle</u> Layer)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fossil A: Shaded Rhomboid (<u>Bottom</u> Layer = <em>Oldest</em>)

So, Fossil A is older than both B and C, or, B and C are both younger than A.

Fossil B is Younger than Fossil A, but older than Fossil C.

Fossil C is the youngest (because its on top).

The movement of a tectonic plate away from a mid-ocean ridge can be measured by the orientation of the _______ field.​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

geomagnetic field.

Explanation:

The earth magnetic field can be likened to a bar magnet with a North and South pole. It originates from the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core.

At every point in time, the magnetic field orientation can change. We must note that the magnetic north lies close to that of geographic north axis of the earth.

Around the mid-oceanic ridges, new materials are brought to the surface. These new materials can contain magnetic minerals such as haematite which are capable of being magnetized as a result of the prevalent magnetic field of the earth. As different materials are brought up, the magnetic minerals preserves the details of the magnetic field at that point in time. Using this information can know the orientation of the magnetic field at any point in time if the magnetic history chart of the earth is constructed. Oceanic ridges becomes older as they move away from the divergent margins.
