<em>The term that describes a gap in the geologic record that occurs when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface is called</em> <em>unconformity.</em>

Answer: Mid-ocean ridges are geologically important because they occur along the kind of plate boundary where new ocean floor is created as the plates spread apart. Thus the mid-ocean ridge is also known as a "spreading center" or a "divergent plate boundary." The plates spread apart at rates of 1 cm to 20 cm per year.
Answer:
If a negatively charged balloon is brought near one end of the rod but not in direct contact, then <u>the negative charges on the balloon repel the same amount of negative charges on the end of the rod that is close to the balloon</u>, and the positive charges stay at the balloon-side of the rod. The total charge of the rod is still zero, but the distribution of the charges are now non-uniform.
Answer: Strength of magnet and distance from magnetic material
Explanation:
The potential energy of a magnet is determined by the strength of the magnet and the distance between a magnet and another magnet or a magnetic material. Magnetic materials are materials that would be attracted when brought close to a magnet, example of magnetic materials are most metals.
The concept required to solve this problem is linked to inductance. This can be defined as the product between the permeability in free space by the number of turns squared by the area over the length. Recall that Inductance is defined as the opposition of a conductive element to changes in the current flowing through it. Mathematically it can be described as
Here,
= Permeability at free space
N = Number of loops
A = Cross-sectional Area
l = Length
Replacing with our values we have,
Therefore the Inductance is
