Answer:

An Anticline has a form of an A, it means it is curved upward

A Syncline has a fomr almost like a Y, (actually is like a U), it means it is curved downward

Explanation:

Originally, sedimentary rocks are horizontal beds where the deepest bed is the oldest and the youngest bed is the surface one.

After stress by tectonics, these rock beds become curved and we can find upward and downward curves. Usually, these folds are exposed on earth's surface, then they are exposed to weathering and erosion, which make disappear part of the secuence of rock beds.

An anticline can lose it's summit, so we will find a repeated secuence where the oldest rocks are in the central part (the axe) and the youngest are in the external parts of the fold.

A syncline will show the youngest rocks in it's axe and the oldest rocks in its external parts.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

My personal American cultural experience was with the Navajo people in Arizona. My family and I went on a trip last summer and visited the zone of Sedona, Arizona, and the Grand Canyon region.

Right there, we had an experience in which we were exposed to multiple different cultures of North America because, in one of the tours we took to the Grand Canyon, there were white Americans, African Americans, Hispanic people, and the Navajo people.

This experience was very interesting and affected me in that I had the opportunity to meet very interesting people that thought very different but all of them were very good people.

Sometimes we think that if people are different from us, they are wrong. But that is not the truth. These different people from different backgrounds were classy people, and for me, it resulted very interesting to be exposed to many kinds of thinking and noticed their cultures, customs, and traditions.

One of the days, the tour guide took us to a real Navajo reservation close to the Grand Canyon. By the way, what an impressive place. I think it is a natural wonder that everybody must visit soon.

So on that day, we were introduced to a real Navajo family and they allowed us to know more about the way they live, how they raise their children, where they go to school, how they celebrate their festivities. In the afternoon, we attended a special ceremony with chants and dances, where Navajo people pay tribute to mother nature.

Boy, it was a really interesting experience

The rocks in the Grand Canyon record a ______ portion of geologic time, as there are multiple unconformities and the oldest rock

S_A_V [24]

The word that most adequately completes the fragment is Small because the rocks of the Grand Canyon do not span a wide span of geologic time.

<h3>What is geological time?</h3>

Geological time is a term to refer to the frame of reference used to represent the events of the history of the Earth and of life in chronological order. It establishes divisions and subdivisions of the rocks according to their relative age.

<h3>What is the Grand Canyon?</h3>

The Grand Canyon is a colorful and rugged gorge carved out by the Colorado River over millions of years in northern Arizona, United States.

The Canyon was created by the Colorado River, whose course undermined the land for millions of years. It is about 446 km long, has mountain ranges between 6 and 29 km wide and reaches depths of more than 1,600 m.

Additionally, nearly 2 billion years of Earth's history has been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut through layer after layer of sediment at the same time the Colorado Plateau was uplifted.

According to the above, it can be inferred that the Grand Canyon exposes a small portion of the earth's history because it exposes only about 1.7 to 2 billion years and the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.
