Which of the following statements is true?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.

Explanation:

A. Most of earth's freshwater is found in lakes and rivers.

Although lakes and river are one of the surface water that house the highest percentage of fresh water (about 0.3%) but most of the earths fresh water are not found in lakes and rivers but are found in ground water and ice caps and glaciers. This statement is definitely not true.

B. Almost half of the water in the U.S. is used for mining and industry.

According to USGS(US geological survey) most water usage in the US is for thermoelectric power and irrigation followed by public supply before the use for mining and industry comes in. The statement is wrong to say almost half of the water in the US is used for mining and industry.

C. There is more usable freshwater below the earth's surface than there is above it.

Fresh water in ground water constitute about 30.1 % fresh water found in the earth. In fact some of the fresh water found on surface water bodies like rivers migrated from ground water. Groundwater is the largest reservoir of usable fresh water. The statement is correct and it is true.

D. Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves in most other liquids.

Water is regarded as a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid not because it dissolve in most other liquids.

How do scientists determine the relative age of rocks?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Super position

Faunal Succession

Crosscutting Relationships

Inclusions

Explanation:

Superposition: The most basic concept used in relative dating is the law of superposition. Simply stated, each bed in a sequence of sedimentary rocks (or layered volcanic rocks) is younger than the bed below it and older than the bed above it. This law follows two basic assumptions: (1) the beds were originally deposited near horizontal, and (2) the beds were not overturned after their deposition.

Faunal Succession: Similar to the law of superposition is the law of faunal succession, which states that groups of fossil animals and plants occur throughout the geologic record in a distinct and identifiable order. Following this law, sedimentary rocks can be “dated” by their characteristic fossil content. Particularly useful are index fossils, geographically widespread fossils that evolved rapidly through time.

Crosscutting Relationships: Relative ages of rocks and events may also be determined using the law of crosscutting relationships, which states that geologic features such as igneous intrusions or faults are younger than the units they cut across.

Inclusions: Inclusions, which are fragments of older rock within a younger igneous rock or coarse-grained sedimentary rock, also facilitate relative dating. Inclusions are useful at contacts with igneous rock bodies where magma moving upward through the crust has dislodged and engulfed pieces of the older surrounding rock.
