The law of superposition states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks the oldest rocks will be at the bottom while
the
youngest will be on top. Notice the word undeformed in the last sentence: that means the naturally occurring rock layers are
somehow altered, causing confusion or gaps in the geologic record. Changes to the rock strata can occur due to a variety of geologic
events. Which geologic event is INCORRECTLY identified?
es )
A)
A. Faulting due to stress and fracture.
B)
B. Folding of layers due to compression.
D. Intrusion of magma at Earth's surface
D)
C. Unconformity showing erosion and deposition

Answer:
Explanation:
The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.
where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.
The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.
- 1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1
Therefore:
Substitute the values into the formula.
Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.
- 1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
- Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz
The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>
