Answer:

Stratovolcanoes

Explanation:

Stratovolcanoes are usually defined as those volcanoes that are characterized by the presence of steep slopes, having a height of about thousands of feet and comprised of alternate layers of ash deposited particles and lava flows. These are very explosive and when it comes in contact with water, it erupts violently. These are also known as composite volcanoes. It produces pyroclastic materials, along with volcanic blocks and ashes with a large amount of toxic gases.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Fault- B

Extrusion- H

Unconformity- G

Relative Age- E

Law of Superposition- C

Intrusion- D

Absolute Age- A

Index Fossils- F

Explanation:

<u>Fault-</u> A fault generally refers to the fracture as a result of which either the hanging wall goes up or down with respect to the footwall. it takes place either due to compressional or extensional stress. In simple terms, it is a break that occurs in the earth’s crust.

<u>Extrusion-</u> These are the consolidated rocks that are formed when magma comes out to the surface forming extrusive rocks. For example, Basalt and Rhyolite.

<u>Unconformity-</u> It is defined as the period of non-deposition. It occurs when the rocks surfaces are eroded extensively.   These are the surfaces where the much older rock meets geologically younger rocks.

<u>Relative age-</u> When the age of any rock is compared with the age of different rocks then, the relative age of the rock is obtained. It is extensively used for the calculation of the age of rocks from any sedimentary sequence.

<u>Law of Superposition-</u> This law enables us to evaluate the relative ages of two or more rocks as it depicts the younger rocks that are deposited on the apex and the older rocks at the bottom of a sequence.

<u>Intrusion-</u> These are the rocks that form due to the crystallization and solidification of magma beneath the earth's surface. For example, granite and gabbro.

<u>Absolute age- </u>This refers to the total amount of time (in terms of years) that a rock has formed. These rocks are formed from the deposition, compaction, and lithification of sediments in a sedimentary environment.

<u>Index fossils-</u><u> </u>These are the fossils that were present for a shorter period of time and have a wide geographical distribution and were mostly used by the geologists in order to match the rock layers.

When the ice age ended the land once covered by ice was mostly?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Exposed

Explanation:

When the ice age ended, the glaciers slowly retreated until they reached their current extent limited to the polar regions and alpine mountain climates. The land covered by ice had also been depressed by the weight of the massive glaciers and consequently began to rebound in the centuries following the retreat of the ice sheets. These once frozen lands also turned into large boreal forests with rich ecosystems.

How does studying rocks and shells of aquatic organisms help scientists understand the history of Earth's climate?
patriot [66]

Earths history of climate is easily understandable through the study of existing rock and shells aquatic organisms. Rocks came into the earth million of years ago. So, the study of age determinism of rock gives an idea of climate through which it has come across. This is called paleontology.  

Explanation:

In studying  Earth's history of climate scientists take help of available rocks and body parts of aquatic animals. As rocks are the most eventful findings on the earth's surface which has come across million of  years and witnessed several changes. These study if changes in rock is called paleontology.

Shells of aquatic animal which found in underwater are also a good evidence of earth's history of climate. It is found in the layers of sedimentary rock which is soft in nature and found in layerwise. Where all the organism became fossil after death and its body parts remains in the form of stone.
