The Cretaceous - Tertiary boundary can be easily observed in the rock layers. The geological signature is a thin band of rock. The thin band of rock is easily distinguishable from the other layers as it also has much darker color. The amount of carbon in this layer is much higher, and there is also zirconium, which usually is not found on Earth as it is extremely rare. The reasons to why this boundary has formed are the asteroid impact and the immense volcanic activity that it triggered.

Can u explain how to do this is a easy way please, I'm very confused.​
defon
A triangle is equal to 180 degrees. we know that one of the angles is 118 and the other is 30 degrees. now we have a total of 148 degrees. so that means the other angle is 32 degrees. and both triangles are identical so that means

x= 32









so what i did you get 148 is i added 118 and 30 together and then i subtracted 118 from 180 to get 32

i hope this helps

The image shows a water feature.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

geyser

Explanation:

The water feature shown by the image is a geyser.

Geyser are natural feature that ejects a column of hot water, steam or vapor into the atmosphere.

  • Geysers are usually formed in areas of active volcanic and tectonic activities.
  • When surface water comes in contact with a very hot body in formations, they become pressurized and rises up.
  • They then become forcefully ejected through rock cavities and joints.
  • This forced ejection leads to a head of water rising above the surrounding area.
