Answer: Option (D)

Explanation:

Unconformity refers to the surface that clearly demarcates the period of non-deposition. The rocks found below this are older and the rocks that are above this are the younger rocks. This unconformity is exposed to the surface due to the rapid erosion and slow accumulation of sediments.

The different types of unconformity are as follows-

  1. <u>Angular unconformity-</u> here, sedimentary rocks initially gets deposited, then it gets tilted due to tectonic activities and are eroded. Again new sedimentary rocks deposits forming an angle which is known as the angular unconformity.
  2. <u>Non-conformity-</u> here igneous rocks are intruded and undergoes erosion takes place. Then new sedimentary rocks are deposited and this of contact is known as the non-conformity.
  3. <u>Disconformity-</u> when some sequence of rocks are deposited, undergoes erosion and again new sequence of rocks gets deposited, which is known as disconformity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

Which of the following statements about language is true?
ohaa [14]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Language is defined as a medium through which a person can deliver its thoughts, ideas, or perceptions to one or more individuals.

For example, Leslie is feeling sad and that is why she is crying. Therefore, listening a cry sound her friend sitting in the next room came immediately to console her.

Hence, sound of crying is also a sign of language that tells Leslie is sad about something.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement languages use spoken sounds, written words, and signs to represent ideas and events, is true about language.
