Answer:
D. because water and mud behaved in a similar way in the past as they do today
Explanation:
One of the fundamental theories in the field of earth science is the theory of uniformitarianism.
Uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton in the 18th century in Scotland. The theory states that "geologic processes occurring today have occurred in times past and that the present is the key to past".
The simple meaning of the theory is that, the processes on earth today such as weathering, erosion, e.t.c have also occurred in times past. Those processes still occur today and an understanding of such events today will help us have a better insight into the past.
Therefore, ripple marks just as they form today from action of mud and water would be formed in a similar way in the past.

Explanation:
Electro negativity refers to the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons of a bond closer to itself.
In a molecule, the polarity of bonds is determined by the relative electro negativity of the bonding atoms. If the difference in electro negativity between the atoms in a bond is significant, such a bond is polar in nature e.g H-Cl, H-Br, C-F, etc.
However, the occurrence of polar bonds in a molecule alone does not guarantee the polarity of the molecule. The polarity of a molecule also depends on the shape of the molecule since dipole moment is a vector quantity.
A molecule is polar when the resultant dipole moment which is determined by the shape of the molecule is non zero.
For instance, CO2 contains two polar C-O bonds but the molecule is non polar because the two dipole moments cancel out. Also, symmetrical molecules are nonpolar irrespective of the presence of polar bonds in the molecule.
Answer:
Mg ²⁺
Explanation:
Τhe metal loses electrons and in forming Mg²⁺ ,it loses 2 electrons and hence oxidized.
Mg(s) ⇒ Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻
Answer:
The temperature is the same overtime.
Explanation:
Since the line on the graph is straight the temperature will be constant.
Answer:
Protons and electrons
Explanation:
They have a different number of neutrons giving them a different atomic weight while having the same charge
