Answer:

The strata moved after they were deposited

Explanation:

Angular unconformity produced by natural events such as for example, erosion, may derive in the fact that parallel strata are deposited on layers that are tilted. These differences in the position of the sedimentary rocks must be taken into account by scientists as well as by paleontologists

Question

Scientists observe several strata that are tilted at an angle. What most likely caused the tilting?

A. The strata were deposited at an angle.

B. Fossils were deposited within each stratum.

C. The strata were moved after they were deposited.

D. The strata were deposited in a small area.​

Answer:

c) The strata moved after they were deposited

Explanation:

Strata can be defined as a layer or layers of sediments, sand e.t.c. that have been deposited at a particular area or land on the earth surface thereby leading to the formation of sedimentary rocks. Strata possesses distinct features that separates it from other layers in the rock.

Strata in rocks occur in an horizontal form or horizontally. If the strata or layers of the rocks look tilted it is because strata was moved after it was deposited.

Where is long-wavelength radiation created?
Ivahew [28]

On the earth surface

Explanation:

The long-wavelength radiation is created on the earth surface when electromagnetic radiation is re-emitted.

  • The sun releases radiation in form of short-wave.
  • They are usually more energetic and with short wavelength and a high frequency.
  • When they interact with materials on the earth, they are radiated back as long-wavelength radiation that usually causes heat.
  • Ultraviolet rays and other high energy waves are emitted from the sun because it is a very hot body.
  • When these radiations enters the earth, they are re-radiated back as long waves with lower energy.
  • Earth is cooler than the sun
  • When some of the short waves for example, the ultraviolet rays gets to the surface, it is absorbed and re-radiated back.
  • When the short waves are absorbed, they lose some of their their energy to the earth surface.
  • The remainder is radiated back as less energetic long waves.
  • The hotter a body is, the more energetic the radiation it releases.
