The answer is B. The theory of isostatic equilibrium is used to explain the vertical height of a particular point on the earth such as the Himalayas. This theory is very similar to the principle of buoyancy. The mantle, in this case, is the liquid being displaced by the crust above. To accommodate great pressures such as those exerted by the Himalayas, the mantle distributes the force by height adjustments.

Match the term in column 1 to the characteristics in column 2.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a) Mass wasting  - 4) Landslides or other collapses

b) Heating and cooling - 2) Type of physical weathering

c) Dust bowl  - 1) Severe farmland erosion

d) Oxidation - 3) Type of chemical weathering

Explanation:

a) Mass wasting is defined as the slope movement which causes the downslope of soil, sand, and rock under the influence of the force of gravity. So, mass wasting causes landslides and other collapses due to slope movement.

b) Heating and cooling or temperature changes is a type of physical weathering. Rocks expand at high temperatures (Hot) and contracts at lower temperature (Cool).

c) Dust bowl : When grasses in farmlands are not tightly rooted, the eroding soil led to massive dust bowl and blow the grasses in the farmlands.

d) Oxidation is a type of chemical weathering. Oxidation is defined as the reaction of a substance with oxygen, when oxygen reacts with rocks and soil, it forms oxides which result in weathering.      

Hence, the correct answer is:

a) Mass wasting  - 4) Landslides or other collapses

b) Heating and cooling - 2) Type of physical weathering

c) Dust bowl  - 1) Severe farmland erosion

d) Oxidation - 3) Type of chemical weathering

Which dating technique was used to establish that the age of the volcanic ash at the Laetoli site was 3.6 million years old
Schach [20]

The dating technique which was used to establish the age of the volcanic ash at the Laetoli site is: potassium-argon (K/A) dating.

<h3>What is absolute dating?</h3>

Absolute dating can be defined as a radioactive process that is typically used to accurately determine the age of a rock, volcanic ash or fossil, by measuring the decay of the isotopes that is associated with the rock or within the fossils.

Thus, scientists can accurately determine the age of a volcanic ash, rock or fossil by measuring its isotope concentration such as through the use of potassium-argon (K/A) dating.
