Answer: Please see answers in explanation column.

Explanation:  Filling the blanks with the best words that complete the sentence,we have

1. The process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layer is called Stratification.

----Another term for Stratification is called Bedding used to describe the manner in which sedimentary rocks lie upon each other in layers known as strata.

2) The law of  Cross-cutting relationship happens when a layer of rocks torn apart  and igneous rock fill in the spaces.

---- IT explains how a fault  can cause a fracture in an older igneous rock and then another rock , which is the younger rock that caused the fault falls into the position of the fracture.  

3)On the Earth's surface, weathering and  Erosion  make rock fragments.

----Erosion is a geological process in which   surface material like rock particles and soil  are worn from Earth's crust and  transported by water or wind. Both the breaking down or eroding of the earth surface cause rock to fragment.

4)The law of   superposition    states that sedimentary rocks are layered from the  oldest to the youngest and oldest rocks are found at the bottom.

5)A fAULT is a break in the rocks that make up the Earth's crust, along

which rocks on either side have moved past each other.

6)  An  intrusion  rock is formed when a magma never makes it to the surface.

Examples of Intrusion rocks which are igneous rocks that forms below the Earth surface are Granite and Gabbro.

7) In the law of   Unconformity  rock was   uplifted, eroded from the surrounding rock,  and will be replaced by sediments.

8) A   sedimentary   rock is formed by the accumulation, deposition, and

cementation of organic particles or minerals.sedimentary.

Examples of Sedimentary rocks include --sandstone, limestone,shale etc

9) When lava solidifies upon reaching the surface, it usually forms a/an   extrusive  rock in rock layers.

---- Examples of Extrusive  rocks which are igneous rocks that erupt onto the surface of the Earth surface before cooling  are Basalt, Andesite.

10) Rock that form intrusions on other rocks is   Younger than the other rock layer.​

---According to the crosscutting relationship in rocks, this is true.

Which of the following best explains why many jovian moons have been more geologically active than the Moon or Mercury?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The answer is A. Jovian moons are made mostly of ice that can melt and deform at lower temperatures than the rock and metal that make up the Moon and Mercury

Explanation: Jovian moons are moons of Jupiter. There are about 79 known moons in Jupiter. They are mostly made up of ice.

The main component of geological activity (change in surface features and landscapes of a planet) is heat. The ice that makes up Jovian moon can easily melt or deform compared to rock and metal that made up both Moon and Mercury. This as a result explains why there is more geological activities in Jovian moons compared to Moon and Mercury.
