Answer:

Its center is located near the town of Chicxulub

Explanation:

is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.[4] Its center is located near the town of Chicxulub, after which the crater is named.[5] It was formed by a large asteroid or comet about 11 to 81 kilometres (6.8 to 50.3 miles) in diameter,[2] the Chicxulub impactor, striking the Earth. The date of the impact coincides precisely with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–Pg boundary), slightly less than 66 million years ago,[3] and a widely accepted theory is that worldwide climate disruption from the event was the cause of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, a mass extinction in which 75% of plant and animal species on Earth became extinct, including all non-avian dinosaurs.

Arrange the layers in order from oldest to youngest.
Verizon [17]

From oldest to youngest: I, B, F, M, R, H.

Explanation:

On the picture we can see several layers of rock. Some of the layers have not been disturbed, so the principle of superposition can be applied to them. Some of the layer though have been disturbed by geological processes, so the layers are not at the same level because of it. On top of it, there is also an intrusion that has managed to further cause disturbance through all of the layers.

  • The layer I is the oldest, and it is the basis of the others.
  • Layer B has formed next, and after that layer F.
  • These three layers have been influenced by the formation of fault, where one of their sides has been moving up relative to the other, while the other has been moving down relative to the other.
  • Layer M is younger layer, and it can easily be seen as it totally covers the layer F below it.
  • On top is layer R, which is the youngest of them all (the layers), and the one that comes out on the surface.
  • Layer H is not really a layer, but it is an intrusion, which has formed after magma managed to cut through all the layers and later solidify. It is the youngest formation.
