Answer;
Uniformitarianism
Explanation;
-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change. For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.
James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.
Answer:
9.8m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of the ball thrown after leaving my hand is 9.8m/s². This will be the acceleration due to gravity on the body.
- Acceleration due to gravity is caused by the pull of the earth on a massive object.
- The value of this acceleration is 9.8m/s².
- As the ball nears the surface, it comes near zero.
Set up a proportion
1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x
Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers
J.J. Thompson is the scientist who recieved credit for discovering them.
