In the last few years improvements in technology have allowed geologists to date single grains of some minerals in rocks. A geol

ogist separates 5 grains of the mineral zircon, which can be dated by the Uranium-lead method, and the crystal retains parent and daughter through weathering, erosion, and deposition. Thus, dating each mineral grain only gives the age of the source rock that was eroded, to produce that sand, from which the zircon grain is derived. The 5 grains yield ages of 160, 110, 2020, 66, and 162 million years. What do these ages tell you about the age of the sedimentary strata

Arrange the layers and the fault line from youngest to oldest.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

A, B, F, C, D, E.

Explanation:

A fault line is a break or fracture in the ground that occurs due to the discontinuity of the larger rocks mass and thus is due to the significant displacement of the rocks in the geologic crust.

As the youngest layer is found at the surface and the older layer is founded at the bottom the oldest will tose of the igneous rocks and the youngest will be those of the sedimentary rocks. The faults are composed of the mineral contents like the quartz, feldspar, and clay. And have an abundant of illite and the chlorite minerals.

The quantitative assessment of the vertical slip area of the fault gives in the estimation of the fault angles are called as the piercing points.  The example of the rocky mountains of the Himalayan orogeny and those of that are formed by the granitic rocks and the genesis.

En un esquema señala cuáles son los diferentes ramas industriales y su importancia
Serhud [2]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Las diferentes ramas industriales son las siguientes. Primero, lo que se conoce como la industria básica. Luego, la industria manufacturera y la industria de la transformación. Cuando hablamos de la industria básica estamos hablando de las empresas que se encargan de extraer la materia prima y los recursos naturales, como lo hacen las empresas petroquímicas o las que extraes los metales y minerales de la tierra. Cuando se han extraído los materiales, se mandan a fábricas para que los transformen en productos. Ahí es donde entra la industria de la transformación, que convierte los recursos naturales en textiles. Finalmente la industria manufacturera fabrica la ropa que nos ponemos todos los días. O cualquier otro producto de consumo público.

La importancia de estas industrias es que son vitales para la vida económica de un país. Si no existieran, no habría forma de transformar la materia prima o recursos naturales en los productos que usamos todos los días.
