Answer:

Correlation

Explanation:

Correlation simply means matching rocks or strata's of the same age. This rock units or sedimentary strata's may be matched from same region or even different continents.

In correlation the major task is to establish time equivalency of various rocks or sedimentary strata's.

In correlation of rock unit or sedimentary strata, Geologist looks at the physical continuity. For example a sedimentary strata from a region having a particular sequence of rock or sedimentary strata . That same pattern of sequence may be found in another region . With the similarity in the sequence stratigraphy ( sediment layering), Geologist can infer the similarity in age of both strata's.

Fossil contents present in different strata; if similar fossil contents found in different regions, geologist can determine the age similarities.

The first picture indicates strata correlation using fossil similarities while the second picture uses the physical continuity like lithology  to correlates strata's

Will give bralest if right
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Planet A orbits faster than planet B.

Explanation:

The first option is not correct because the planet that is further away from the star orbits slower.

The second option is not correct because by having a much longer path to pass and also experiencing lesser gravitational pull, planet B is not having a shorter orbit.

The third option is correct because planet A is closer, thus has a smaller path to pass around the star, and the gravitational pull it expeiences is greater, so it orbits faster around the star.

The fourth option is not correct because the difference in distance from the star, as well as the length of the orbital path, don't allow the two planets to have equal orbital period.

"map of settlements in north america (mid1600s)" when looking at the map, what can you tell about the colonial european settleme
topjm [15]

It is very easily noticeable that the European colonial settlements in North America were based around the eastern cost of the continent. This preference was due to multiple reasons, like safety, trade, better climate conditions, agriculture.

By creating multiple settlements on and around the coast, the colonist pretty much made a high concentration of settlements that were close to each other, and also outnumbered the native population, so they were much safer in this way.

Being close to the coast meant that the products that were produced and manufactured could be easily set on ships and ready for trade, thus making lot of profit.

The climate along the eastern coast, in general, is pretty pleasant and suitable for human life, but also for production of the plants that were providing the profit in the colonies.

Long narrow bays usually surrounded by high scandinavian mountains are called
Ann [662]

The long narrow bays surrounded by high Scandinavian mountains are called fjords.

Explanation:

The fjords are pretty long, and pretty narrow bays. They have steep, often vertical sides which alleviate high above them. The fjords are filled with ocean water, and they cut through the mountains, moving deeper into the mainland. The name itself is Scandinavian, and that is not a surprise considering that the majority of the fjords are located along the western coast of Scandinavia, which is also the first place where they have been properly examined and described.

  • The fjords tend to be relatively deep, so moving through them with ships that are adequate for their width is possible.
  • The formation of the fjords is attributed to the glaciers, as they managed to erode parts of the mountains and create deep valley in them.
  • When the glaciers melted at the end of the last Ice Age, the sea levels rose, so the deep valley got filled with ocean water.
  • The fjords make the coastline very rugged, and make it much longer, so despite Norway not being a large country, it actually has the longest coastline in the world because of them.
