Answer:
The longest time period is eons.
Answer:
1. Applying <u>the principle of original horizontality</u> -indicates that layers were repositioned from a flat-lying orientation.
2. Magma intrudes into layers of sedimentary rock and displaces them. We can deduce that the intruded magma that crystallizes is younger than the surrounding sedimentary layers by applying <u>the principle of crosscutting relationships</u>.
3. While visiting the Grand Canyon, you are amazed by the depth of layers of sedimentary rock before you, <u>the law of superposition</u>-- is evident here where progressively younger layers have formed over time and are stacked upon each other.
4. A fault cuts through layers of limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate. The surrounding layers must be <u>older</u> than the fault.
5. A mass of granite has inclusions of surrounding sandstone. The sandstone and surrounding layers show evidence of uplift over time. The granite must be <u>younger</u> than the sand deposits.
Answer:
at a divide .......... ....
Answer:
Mountain, Canyon, Delta
Explanation:
The uppermost box would be mountain.
The box below that one would be canyon.
And the farthermost box to the right would be delta.
If you thought about it, changing those circles to make them 3D is like stacking layers on top as they get smaller, this would form something that looks like a mountain.
Water typically runs through a canyon and the lines appear to be separating for the water.
Deltas are wetlands that form from rivers emptying their water into another body of water. If you were to look up an image of a delta that would make it easier to understand, it also looks like what the image provided is trying to demonstrate.
