<u>Answer:
</u>
The process of thick sediment layers to "accumulate" along the "boundaries of continental and oceanic plates" is called Subduction.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- During a marine transgression, sea level raises high compared to land level resulting in floods. These are triggered during climate changes, ice-age, isostatic movements.
- Subduction occurs at the tectonic plates where one plate is moves under another forcing to sink into Earth’s mantle due to the gravitational force.
- The plates are continental and oceanic in the zone of lithosphere. The rate of subduction is usually seven to 8 centimetres per year.
- Marine regressions are opposite to transgressions where sea levels fall compared to land levels.
- Glaciation is the interval of time within an ice-age. The current glacier period is of Holocene.
The correct answer is A. Heliocentric theory
Explanation:
Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, mainly known for his observations that led Galilei to conclude planets revolve around the Sun (Heliocentric theory) instead of the sun and other planets revolving around the Earth (Geogcentrict theory). One of the observations that make Galilei drew this conclusion were telescopic observation of Venus, in this Galieli noticed similar to the moon Venus had different "phases" or changed its size and lighting, which was only possible if the sun was in the center of the solar system and planets revolve around it including the Earth. Thus, that Galileo was Venus changing size proved the Heliocentric theory.
