Answer:

Layer B is older than intrusion A

Intrusion A is older than layers C, D, and E.

Layer B is older than layers C, D, and E.

Explanation:

The laws of biostratigraphy can be applied to this lithological section in order to ascertain the relative ages of the beds.

Some of these laws that are applicable to this problem are:

  • Principle of superposition of strata : the oldest layer is always at the bottom of sequence while the youngest is on top in an undisturbed rock sequence.
  • Law of cross-cutting: when faults and fractures cuts through a rock sequence, they are younger than the rock they cross through.
  • Law of intrusions: Intrusions are younger than the rock layers they cut through

The geologic history of the beds here can be interpreted as thus:

  • Lithology B was first deposited
  • Then an intrusion A occurred and terminated at B
  • Layers C, D and E were then deposited.

The oldest layer here is B followed by the intrusion A and successful deposition of C, D and E in that order.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The gravitational potential will change more on  earth.

Explanation:

The gravity on the moon is only 17% of that of earth's because the earth has way more mass. Since the gravitational potential depends on the mass of the human and the height of the ladder, and both things will remain equal, no matter where they are, so we could assume that the gravitational potential energy will change more on earth.
