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 answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.
Answer:
A. The forces are the same size and in opposite directions.
Explanation:
Just as an opposite number will cancel a number: -1 +1 = 0, so an opposite force will cancel a force, with the result that the net is zero.
