Relative dating is a discipline of knowing the relative order of past happenings without actually knowing their absolute age, in other words, it is a just an estimated age. In this problem, relative dating could be use in determining when the fault occurred by seeing how many rock layers goes through and geologists match up rock layers over those distances.

Answer:

The layers had to be there before the fault could form if the fault ran through the horizontal layers. The relative age of the rocks is older than the relative age of the fault.

Air temperature is a measure only how hot the air ?
tia_tia [17]

Air temperature is a measure of how hot or cold the air is. It is the most commonly measured weather parameter. More specifically, temperature describes the kinetic energy, or energy of motion, of the gases that make up air. As gas molecules move more quickly, air temperature increases.

The slopes of most cinder cones are usually about 30 degrees because
uysha [10]
The slopes of most cinder cones are usually about 30 degrees because that is the angle of repose, which is the slope at which the loose cinder can stand in equilibrium.
The cinder cones vary significantly in height, from just a few meters of height to few hundred meters.
They are numerous around any volcano, and lava can come out of them or may flow below them.

What would you call a system that develops on the coast and tracks along the coast towards higher latitudes
user100 [1]
Tropical oceans spawn approximately 80 tropical storms annually, and about two-thirds are severe (category 1 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale of intensity). Almost 90 percent of these storms form within 20° north or south of the Equator. Poleward of those latitudes, sea surface temperatures are too cool to allow tropical cyclones to form, and mature storms moving that far north or south will begin to dissipate.

Why do the majority of canadians live so close to the united states border?
Ket [755]
The northern parts of Canada is extremely cold and living there is very difficult. Think of that as Alaska. Not a lot of people live up there because of how cold it is. Also food is low and electricity is hard to get up there because of the harsh snowstorms. Hope it helped. I'm a 7th grader and I love Geography so if you don't believe in this and want more of an explanation message me through brainly.
