Answer: Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Explanation:

The options include:

1. An unconformity is created when lava pours out on Earth’s surface.

2. Faults are the result of volcanic activity.

3. Intrusions and extrusions are sedimentary formations.

4. Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

5. When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

The law of superposition simply states that when there is a layers of rocks, we would see that the younger layers will lie and be on top of the layers that are older.

Other tools that can help scientist with relative dating are:

• Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

• When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

The three forces shown act on a particle. what is the direction of the resultant of these three forces?
melisa1 [442]
Missing figure: http://d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net/media/f5d/f5d9d0bc-e05f-4cd8-9277-da7cdda3aebf/phpJK1JgJ.png

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.

x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
F_x = 65 N\cdot cos 30^{\circ} - 30 N - 20 N\cdot sin 20^{\circ} = 19.45 N
in the positive direction.

y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
F_y = 65 N \cdot sin 30^{\circ} - 20 N \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 13.70 N
in the positive direction.

Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
\tan \alpha =  \frac{F_y}{F_x} = \frac{13.70 N}{19.45 N}=0.7
from which we find 
\alpha=35^{\circ}

What is the weight of the ethyl alcohol that exactly fills a 200.0 mL container? The density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL
sweet [91]

Answer:

1.55 N

Explanation:

Density = mass / volume

0.789 g/mL = m / 200.0 mL

m = 157.8 g

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = (0.1578 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

W = 1.55 N

Earthquakes that originate beneath the ocean floor produce huge tidal waves called _____.
ololo11 [35]

Answer;

-Tsunami

Explanation;

-Tsunami  is a series of large ocean waves (or "wave train") of extremely long wavelength and period, usually generated when a gigantic body of water, such as an ocean, is suddenly displaced on a massive scale by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake occurring on or near the sea floor or a volcanic eruption.

-After a sudden displacement of a large water volume by seismic activity (earthquake), the ocean floor is raised or dropped and large tsunami waves can be formed by gravitational forces.
