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.

Starting from the beginning of an earthquake, number the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epi
Dmitriy789 [7]

To find the epicenter (the point on the earth's surface where an earthquake begins) during earthquakes, one need to view the seismogram (a record of the ground motion), and at least two other seismographs recorded for the same earthquake. Other instruments such as a map, a compass for sketching circles on the map, a ruler, and a pencil will also be used.

The following are the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epicenter during earthquakes:

Step 1: Subtract the time of P wave arrival from S wave arrival.

Step 2: See what the time difference is equal to in distance on a seismic wave chart.

Step 3: Draw circles representing the distances from at least three seismograph stations to the epicenter on a map.

Step 4: Find the point where all 3 circles intersect, and you've found the earthquake's epicenter.

Describe how geographic concepts help to explain the distribution of phenomena on Earth.....PLEASE HELP!!​
inessss [21]

Spatial concepts help to explain the distribution of phenomena on Earth.

<h3>What is Spatial concepts in geography?</h3>

Spatial concepts provide a language for explaining the configuration of individuals, places, and environments. Arrangements can be represented in terms of proximity, distance, scale, clustering, distribution, etc.

Geographic concepts permit the exploration of relationships and connections between individuals and both natural and cultural environments. They include a spatial component. They furnish a framework that geographers utilize to interpret and symbolize information about the world.

Geography's unique method of understanding the world exists through spatial patterns and associations. A geographer visualizes and analyses spatial associations between objects i.e. they utilize notions such as location, distance, direction, shape, and pattern.

Spatial distribution in statistics exists in the arrangement of a phenomenon across the Earth's surface and a graphical display of such an interpretation exists as an essential tool in geographical and environmental statistics.

Hence, Spatial concepts help to explain the distribution of phenomena on Earth.
