The rocks formed from the seafloor sediments deposited in the Amadeus basin were softer than the Arkose sandstone because the Amadeus basin were made up of marine and non-marine sedimentary rocks which are softer compared to quarts which make up mostly the Arkose sandstone.
Remark
When you are asked a question like this, the first thing to do is search out a formula and put some limits on it.
Formula
I = E/R which comes from E = IR. To get to the derived formula, divide both sides by R
E/R = I*R/R
E/R = I
Discussion
This is an inverse relationship. That means that as one goes up the other one will go down.
So in this case you keep E constant and you manipulate R and look at your results for I
Case 1
Let us say that E = 10 volts
Let us also say the R = 10 ohms
I = E/R
I = 10/10
I = 1 ohm
Case Two
Let's raise the Resistance to 100 ohms
E = 10
R = 100
I = 10/100 = 0.1
Conclusion
As the Resistance goes up, the current goes down. Answer: A
Elements<span> in the same </span>group<span> in the periodic table </span>have similar chemical properties<span>. This is because their atoms </span>have<span> the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level. </span>Group<span> 1 </span>elements<span> are reactive metals called the alkali metals.</span>Group<span> 0 </span>elements<span> are unreactive non-metals called the noble gases.
