Answer:

C. The formation name is symbolized by capital letters

Explanation:

The capital letter represents the the age of the geological unit and not the formation name. The history of the Earth has been divided by Geologists into Eons (the largest division), Eras, Periods, and Epochs , mostly based on the fossils found in rocks.

The Mississippi River watershed is bordered by the Appalachian Mountains to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west. Why do
AVprozaik [17]

It is only logical that mountain ranges form natural watershed boundaries because <u>water </u><u>from </u><u>rain </u><u>and </u><u>melting snow </u><u>flow to the </u><u>river</u>s.

<h3>Sources of Water for rivers. </h3>
  • Rainfall and the resulting runoff.
  • Water from natural ice.

Both of these come down from mountains and will be impacted by gravity to keep flowing downwards. This then forms or contributes to rivers and explains why mountains are generally next to watersheds.

Can someone please explain why there are bands of winds, some moving east and some moving west? (40 POINTS WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Fofino [41]
Weather is a complex phenomena. in order to solve engineering problems such as the prediction of weather, we utilize degrees of freedom (DoF)... weather is one of the many elements that need millions of DoF and still cannot accurately predict it. mainly it's a vector analysis much akin to finite element analysis where each micro degree of freedom or say molecule of air is represented as one point interconnected in a web of points and each point's properties are altered relatively (similar principles how autonomous mini drones coordinate synchoronously) to each other.

many factors are considered: pressure, temperature and density of the air for sure. friction factors. drag factors. rotation of the earth. and that's the natural phenomena. include the heat given off the land, the radiation from the sun, airplanes, people, etc... its highly complicated. having done a weather station project, it's fair to say that there isn't a simple answer to your simple question. we measured wind direction, wind current, temp and humidity, visibility, pressure, etc... and we couls measure these things, but can't really say why say the wind went east or west... except tell you that its because of millions of degrees of freedom interacting with each other simultaneously and some things like weather are just like that.
