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.

Nature  vs Nurture debate.

Explanation:

Development in human is inborn.The stages of development is dictated and directed by expression of genes encoded by the DNA.Therefore physiological and biochemical interpretations of these DNA dictates is known as human development. it is a fixed mechanisms  which is fastest  at childhood,and progressively slower at advanced stage.<u>Although environmental factors may influence  this developmental stages, the exact mechanism of occurrence is constant and fixed.</u>

<u />

Nuture concept believe that, human development is as a result  of societal  and cultural factors in the environment, and the progression of the development is due to the influences of theses factors  on human perception of life. Thus Human development is  acquired through life exposure and experiences.They are therefore  dynamic, and not static,  but fluctuates based on level of exposure  in the environment.

<u>However, both concept interacts with one another to ensure an holistic human development. Generally it is the interaction of the environment with genetic that explains the concept of natural selection and evolution of human race.  </u>

Define mass and explain how it affects an object's density.
Klio2033 [76]

Great Question! Mass is basically how heavy Something is. Most people confuse mass with weight but there very different from each other. Weight is the downward force something has because of gravity. Mass can be measured in a variety of units too. The second part of the question is how it affects density. It affects it because to find the density you need to be able to find the mass since the formula is Mass divided by volume. I hope this helped you understand a little bit more about mass. Have a great day!
