Answer:
Glaciers not only transport material as they move, but they also sculpt and carve away the land beneath them. A glacier's weight, combined with its gradual movement, can drastically reshape the landscape over hundreds or even thousands of years. The ice erodes the land surface and carries the broken rocks and soil debris far from their original places, resulting in some interesting glacial landforms.
Answer:
Landslide is the rapid downhill movement of a mass of rock, debris, or soil
Mudflow is the rapid downhill movement of a mixture of rock soil and water.
Slump is a loosely connected mass of rock and soil
Creep is the slow downhill movement
Answer:
A and C
Explanation:
The rock layers must have formed at different times because they contain two different biozones. The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed before the one containing the ammonites. The key thing to note here is that the Trilobites only lived from 540 to 248 million years ago. And that the Ammonites were from 245 to 65 million years ago. So there's a 3 million year gap between these 2 different creatures where neither of them existed. So the dig where the trilobites were found has to be at least 3 million years older than the dig where the Ammonites were found. So with that in mind, let's look at the options and see what makes sense.
The rock layers must have formed at the same time because they both contain biozones. * This is nonsense no matter what dates you're speaking of. In effect it claims that all rocks that indicate life were created at the same time. So this is definitely a bad choice.
The rock layers must have formed at different times because they contain two different biozones. * This is technically incorrect since it assumes that all biozones represent an unique period of time which is incorrect. However, since the biozones represented by the presence of Trilobites and Ammonites don't overlap, it is true that these these rock layers were formed at different times. I would have preferred if this option said "non overlapping biozones". But on the balance, I'd consider this option to be true, so it should be selected.
The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed before the one containing the ammonites. * This is definitely true since the last Trilobite died about 3 million years before the first Ammonite lived. So this is a correct choice.
The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed after the one containing the ammonites.
* This is the opposite of the previous option. And since the previous option was true, this option must be false. So this is a bad choice
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.
1. the cause of magnetic pole reversals
2. the year the next magnetic reversal will take place
3. the location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity
4. the exact location of the next earthquake along the California coast
5. the direction plates are moving relative to each other
6. the speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate
Answer:
The direction plates are moving relative to each other
The speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate
The location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity
Explanation:
Magnetic striping patterns are very valuable systems for understanding the factors that promote polar variability of the ocean floor. This is because these systems are formed exactly by changes in this polarity, presenting lines (similar to a zebra), which allow scientists to interpret them and have valuable information about the movement of the direction plates towards each other, the speed that a plate reaches the subduz below another plate and the location and old faults that were caused by the existence of seismic activities.
Earthquakes occur along plat boundaries and faults. Most earthquakes happen along the edge of continental and oceanic plates. Faults are found in the middle of the plates. They're like cracks that form when the different parts of the plates don't move in the same direction.
