3 0

Answer:

Laws of stratigraphy help scientists determine the relative ages of rocks. This law states that deeper rock layers are older than layers closer to the surface. An unconformity is a gap in rock layers. They occur where older rock layers eroded completely before new rock layers were deposited.

Explanation:

The study of rock strata is called stratigraphy. The laws of stratigraphy can help scientists understand Earth’s past. The laws of stratigraphy are usually credited to a geologist from Denmark named Nicolas Steno. He lived in the 1600s.

Hope this helps!

The lengthy small intestine receives secretions from the ____________ and ____________, completes digestion of the nutrients in
vitfil [10]

Answer:The lengthy small intestine receives secretions from the ______pancrease______ and ______liver______, completes digestion of the nutrients in _________chyme_______, absorbs the products of digestion, and transports the remaining residues to the ________large________ intestine.

Explanation: digestion of food is necessary for absorption of nutrients. In this process food is broken down into forms that can be absorbed by the body . food is broken down by the teeth and the enzymes in saliva,when it is in the mouth. From there it moves to the stomach through the oesophagus. In the stomach, the content is further mixed with enzymes and the churning breaks down food further.From the stomach food moves to the small intestine. In the small intestine, digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver acts on food. The small intestine is where digested food is absorbed.it has a large surface area and finger-like projection called villi to carry out the function of absorbing nutrients.

From there, undigested food us passed to the large intestine from where it is passed out through the anus
