<u>ANSWER:</u>

Based on the "principle of <u>Superposition"</u>, the geology student can say that the layers on top are "younger" than the layers present below.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • The principle of superposition is a basic principle in geology which states that in a "sequence of strata", any stratum is "younger" than the one on which it "rests".
  • Sedimentary rocks are formed by deposition of "one layer on top of another". Therefore, the "layers at the bottom will be older" than the layers of rocks that form above the lower ones.

Which end of the of water molecule attracts most electrons and acts<br> negative
irga5000 [103]
The answer is oxygen end, because the oxygen atoms attract electrons more strong than hydrogen atoms, because of unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a small negative (-) charge close to its oxygen atom

Most metamorphic processes take place
natka813 [3]

Most metamorphic processes take place B. a few kilometers below Earth’s surface.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture in pre-existing rocks without the protolith melting into liquid magma. Metamorphism often occurs on two scales: contact and regional. Contact metamorphism occurs  locally in areas adjacent to igneous intrusions or in areas that are in contact with hot water known as hydrothermal fluids. Whereas regional metamorphism occurs over much larger areas such as rising mountain ranges, large igneous intrusions can form and warp overlying strata increasing the pressures above the intrusion. Regional metamorphism usually produces foliated rocks such as gneiss and schist.

There are other ways that metamorphic rocks can form,  Dynamic metamorphism. Dynamic Metamorphism also occurs because of mountain-building. The huge forces of heat and pressure cause the rocks to be bent, folded, crushed, flattened, and sheared.

Metamorphic rocks form when increased heat and pressure force physical changes in the crystalline structure of an existing rock. Under the right conditions, any type of rock can become a metamorphic rock including igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and even other metamorphic rocks. Therefore metamorphic processes result due to intense heat and high pressure below the Earth's surface.

Why do we need both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Alex17521 [72]
As our all basic needs is fulfilled by aerobic respiration but when it comes to vigorous exercise when there is a shortage of oxygen , muscles starts using anaerobic respiration to full fill the need !

another example of anaerobic respiration in our body is in RBC ! Here there is no mitochondria so it has to do anaerobic respiration !

A young farmer purchases some land in a relatively arid area and is interested in earning a reasonable profit for many years. Wh
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Arid areas are the regions of the world which can be marked with the lack of water conditions, high light intensity and very low rainfall.

Water is one of the primary requirement of the plant without which no plant can survive but the adaptability to the environment allows the existence of the life on earth. There are known species of plants which are adaptive to such arid conditions.

If a farmer is interested in growing plants in such arid conditions hen he should select the plants which could better be adapted to survive in the arid conditions either by avoiding arid condition like storing water, low transpiration, extensive root system and many others.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
