Answer:

It helps with stratigraphic studies.

Explanation:

Bedding planes are the sheets that distinguish each successive layer of a stratified rock from its preceding layer, also known as sedimentary planes or stratification planes.

When one layer of sediment that is completely different from the former is formed or created over the old layer, bedding is said to have occured. This new layer may comprise of sand and tiny stones (called pebbles) or other sedimentary material. Because the components of the each new successive layer are totally different from the former in terms of composition, there is a marked division between each of them identifable by their quality and colur.t

The study of each of these layers to ascertain their time scale which provides basis for studies in historical geology is called stratigraphic studies.

The initial placement of strata in geologically diverse terrains is suggested in stratigraphical studies and the depositional nature of the sediment is established.

Cheers

Ronch [10]

<u>Answer</u>:

Globalisation makes the world shrink and flatten it in all sectors.

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the ancient and medival world, only labours were allowed to travel between the countries. IT revolution paves its way for the jobs to be exchanged between the countries and it leads to service growth in the developing countries.

After social media's tremendous growth, information gets transferred easily through various social media platforms. Knowledge and technology transfer between the countries generates more employment even in the under developed areas. India gained a generous amount of software and BPO jobs from the developed countries to increase their GDP since 1990s.

Example 1: Patients can schedule a hospital visit using their mobile phones and check if their doctor's office is open. This way, they don't need to waste their time going to a hospital only to be informed that a doctor can't see them.

Example 2: Fitness gadgets such as Fitbit bring personal training sessions and exercise routines to you wherever you are. Devices like them can help you monitor your daily habits, such as sleep patterns and how much movement you need per day. This can help motivate you to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Hope this helps! Good luck with future work!

Which of the following would be one of the interacting parts in a weather system?
Vitek1552 [10]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. It would be the clouds that would be one of the interacting parts in a weather system. Clouds, wind speed and the weather are related to each other. While the other choices above does not relate that much to the weather. Hope this answers the question.
