A craton is a large, stable portion of Earth's lithosphere that makes up part of a continent. The Kaapvaal craton in Africa is o

ne of five ancient cratons left from the Precambrian era. The rock has remained tectonically stable since its formation 3.6 billion to 2 billion years ago. What do you think the term "tectonically stable" means? Why do you think this rock formation is important to understanding the history of Earth? Do you think studying ancient rock formations such as the Kaapvaal craton can teach scientists not only about Earth's past but also its future? Why or why not?

Tectonically stable means that this part of the continent has not moved for billions of years. The rock formation is important understanding the history of Earth since its unmoved and untouched state can provide ideas about how the Earth looked like as seen on the layers of the rock formation.

Nikolay [14]
When the price of oil drops this usually means that OPEC or a major state within OPEC like Saudi Arabia, or Venezuela has increased the supply of oil leading to a drop in price.

Which summarizes the relationship between density of an element and its distribution in Earth?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

C. The greater an element's density, the smaller the amount of it found in the crust

Explanation:

The layering of the Earth happened because of the different densities of the elements from which it was made. The denser elements started to sink deeper, the elements with medium density occupied the central part, and the elements with the smallest density remained at the surface. This resulted in the formation of the three basic layers of the Earth, core, mantle and crust. The core is composed of the densest elements, the mantle of the ones with medium density, and the crust from the ones with smallest density.
