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.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

D. rivers, mountains, lakes, and forests.

Explanation:

A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that is used for analyzing various locations on Earth's surface or a geographic areas. It is used as a helping tool in planning and monitoring. Major geographic objects used for GIS are: points, lines, and polygons (areas). GIS software has various applications that are used widely in almost all fields of study.

The disadvantages are those of data transfer, of mis-match between data structures in the GIS and in the model, the difficulties for casual users and the difficulties of modifying the model code or hard-wiredparameters.

Rivers, mountains, lakes, and forests are not a member of elements for GIS analysis.
