Why do the layers of sedimentary rocks parallel to earth's surface?​

Vedmedyk [2.9K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

why do the layers of sedimentary rocks parallel to earth's surface?

Why are sedimentary rocks found on or close to Earth's surface?

Explanation: Erosion breaks existing rocks and turns them into sediments. ... When subjected to heat and pressure deeper in the earth sedimentary rocks are changed into igneous and metamorphic rocks. Because erosion only happens on the earth's surface sedimentary rocks are only formed on the earth's surface.

Explanation:

Why do sedimentary rocks have layers and how these layers are formed?

The different groups of sediments could have been deposited through wind, water, ice, and/or gravity at different intervals of time and compacted on top of each other, until they create a sedimentary rock that has several different types of sediments (possibly from different rock types) in the form of layers.

Two masses of size m and 4m are connected by a massless thread and are strung over a frictionless pulley of radius R and moment-
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

Explanation:

Given two masses: m and 4m.

Since the pulley is frictionless and the thread is massless, the energy here is linked to the two masses.

Total kinetic energy of entire system = decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system.

Therefore, we have :

ΔKE = Δp

ΔKE = 4mgl - mgl

= 3 mgl

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength. ultraviolet light gamma rays radio wav
kvv77 [185]

Answer: gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Explanation: We have to explain the ordering we take into account a relationship for electromagnetic wave, which is given by:

c=λ*ν c is the speed of light.  λ and ν are the wavelegth and the frequency of the waves.

Then we also know that the high frequency of these radiation correspond to the gamma ray (10^18 1/s) while the lowest correspond to radio wave (10^8 1/s) so:

The ultraviolet ligth is ranged at frequencies of 10^16 1/s located bewteen gamma and radio radiation.

as large frequency lower wavelength we can order these radiations from short to long wavelengths as follows:

gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Please help me with this question​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

(4) A = 3 A, A₂ = 11 A

(5) 7 A

Explanation:

(4)

From the diagram,

A = 3+6+2

A = 11 A

V = A₂R

A₂ = V/R₂............ Equation 1

Given: V = 12 V,  R₂ = 4 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

A₂ = 12/4

A₂ = 3 A

(5) Applying,

V = IR'

I = V/R'............ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = cuurent, R' = total resistance.

But,

1/R' = (1/3)+(1/4)

1/R' = (3+4)/12

1/R' = 7/12

R' = 12/7 Ω

Given: V = 12 V

Substitute these values into equation 1

I = 12/(12/7)

I = 7 A

Therefore

A = 7 A
