Answer:
1. Applying <u>the principle of original horizontality</u> -indicates that layers were repositioned from a flat-lying orientation.
2. Magma intrudes into layers of sedimentary rock and displaces them. We can deduce that the intruded magma that crystallizes is younger than the surrounding sedimentary layers by applying <u>the principle of crosscutting relationships</u>.
3. While visiting the Grand Canyon, you are amazed by the depth of layers of sedimentary rock before you, <u>the law of superposition</u>-- is evident here where progressively younger layers have formed over time and are stacked upon each other.
4. A fault cuts through layers of limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate. The surrounding layers must be <u>older</u> than the fault.
5. A mass of granite has inclusions of surrounding sandstone. The sandstone and surrounding layers show evidence of uplift over time. The granite must be <u>younger</u> than the sand deposits.
The main mechanism through which the layering happened is gravity: it pulled the heavier, denser material to the center, leaving the less dense material on the surface.
The material that was on the outside cooled quicker, but this was the result, not the cause.
The answer is
<span>2) Gravity caused more-dense material to move toward the center of each planet.</span>
China has little environmental restrictions on industries making them extremely profitable at the expense of the environment, that's one of the reasons why China is one of the fastest-growing economies
