4 0

Answer:

C. Faults are younger than the youngest layer they cut through.

Explanation:    

<em> A. Intrusive rock is older than the surrounding rock layers. </em>WRONG. The intrusive rocks are those that solidify underground and always form after the ones around them. So they are younger than the surrounding rocks.

<em>B. A fold is older than the oldest rock layer it contains. </em>WRONG. First, layers are set, and then, it occurs the folding. The folding is always younger than the involved layers.  

<em>C. Faults are younger than the youngest layer they cut through.</em> RIGHT. A fault is a cut through different layers that occurs when the sedimentary rock breaks transversally. It occurs always after the sedimentary rock is already formed. So the fault is always younger than all the layers it cuts through.

D. Rock layers that have been overturned are oldest from the base to the surface. WRONG. If <u>overturned</u>, according to the superposition low, layers are oldest from the surface to the base. Superposition law states that during the sedimentary rock formation, the oldest layer is always that one at the bottom, while the younger layer is the higher one.

HELP!!!
Mashutka [201]

Answer: Classified as a theory.

Explanation: The dictionary definition of theory is a system of ideas that are used to logically explain something. It also says that they are also based off of something not entirely connected to the thing the theory is being made about.

Because the idea that the universe has expanded explains such a large number of observations, which in turn leads to more predictions and therefore more observations that support it, this becomes your system of ideas. Because this system was based off of the aforementioned observations in the first paragraph, this proves that it is best classified as a theory.

V125BC [204]

the cerebral cortex is a thin layer of neurons and neuronal connections which is embedded in the neocortex(the neuronal cells of the cerebral cortex which form in the deep layer), it is not homogeneous, since it is made up of six layers of cells, each with specific and specific functions.
