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.

In which country is it said that finding a spider web on christmas morning brings good luck
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Ukraine and Germany

Explanation:

Spiders may seem like a more specific Halloween ornament, but eight-legged creatures actually play an important role in other parties. We have discovered the tradition of "Christmas spiders."

It is based on a European folk tale that has been attributed to several countries, often Ukraine and Germany. In a version of the Christmas spider story, a widowed mother and her children were too poor to decorate their Christmas tree, and friendly spiders wove elaborate nets on a fir tree. When the family woke up on Christmas morning, they opened the curtains and sunlight illuminated the cobwebs, turning them into silver and gold (sometimes it is said to be the origin of the garlands). The family had good fortune thereafter. Other versions affirm that it was Santa Claus or Jesus himself who transformed the networks so that they did not bother the mother.

It is likely that the legend is related to the idea that spiders give good luck. Whatever the real reason, according to various sources, Ukrainians decorate their Christmas trees with spider-shaped ornaments (often made of precious stones) to this day

PLEASE HELP !!!!! Explain the relationship between the mass of the star and it’s life span ?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The stars mass (once it becomes a star) is inversely proportional to its lifetime as a main sequence star. A red dwarf can survive for many billions of years; a star that has twice the mass of the Sun, such as Sirius A, will have 25% of the Suns lifetime.

Hope this helps :)
