Answer:

Between 100 and 120 million years old

Explanation:

The principle of superposition refers to one of the geological principles used in the determining the relative depositional history or sequence of rock stratas in geologic stratigraphic study. The superposition principle explains that rocks deposited in stratas with the oldest rock layer being at the base and the youngest at the topmost layer. Hence using this principle, we can conclude that ; Rock layer M lies in between layer T and R ; thus M is younger than T and older than R. Therefore, the age of M will be between the range of age T and R.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The ball will fall back and land to Elle's hands.

Explanation:

The bus move in a straight line with constant velocity means that there is no change of direction and no acceleration. Inertia can change the direction of the ball and acceleration can change its velocity. Since these two factors is not present in this scenario, the ball only has vertical movement. Thus the ball will land where it was thrown, in Elle's hands.
