Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the rock layers is that Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age..

The relative age is used in placing sedimentary rocks in order of their occurrence.

To do this, we apply the sedimentary laws.

The ones applicable here are:

Principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence, the oldest layer is at the base and youngest on top.
Principle of cross cutting states that a fault and intrusion are younger than the rocks they cut through.
Principle of fossil and fauna succession states that fossils and fauna succeed on another in a determinable form.

We see that layers 2 and 9 have the same fossil and are the same lithological units.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The desert refers to a region of arid land which is characterized by extreme temperatures, extreme dryness, low amount of precipitation and generally harsh living conditions. Because of these harsh conditions, they have been tagged with various names ranging from 'Death Valley' to 'the place from where there is no return' etc.

Every desert is made up of 2 components: the biotic (living) component and the abiotic (non-living) component. The biotic (living) component consists of the plants and animals that have adapted to these harsh living conditions e.g. Cactus or Cacti, Holly plants, Camels, Lizards, Snakes etc. The abiotic (non-living) component consists of climate (subtropical deserts which are extremely cold or temperate deserts which are extremely hot), location, precipitation/rainfall

B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.

So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.
