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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

What is the mass of a liquid having a density of 1.50 g/ml and a volume of 3.5 liters?
PIT_PIT [208]

We know the formula for density = Mass/ volume

So     Mass, M = Volume * Density

         Volume = 3.5 L= 0.0035m^3

         Density = 1.50 g/ml  = 1500 kg/m^3

         Mass, M =  0.0035*1500 = 5.25 kg

So mass of liquid having density 1.50 g/ml and volume 3.5 liters is 5.25 kg.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a voltage of 391 v applied across its plates, then the voltage source is removed. what is the vol
andrezito [222]

When the capacitor is connected to the voltage, a charge Q is stored on its plates. Calling C_0 the capacitance of the capacitor in air, the charge Q, the capacitance C_0 and the voltage (V_0=391 V) are related by

C_0 =\frac{Q}{V_0} (1)


when the source is disconnected the charge Q remains on the capacitor.


When the space between the plates is filled with mica, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor 5.4 (the permittivity of the mica compared to that of the air):

C=k C_0 = 5.4 C_0

this is the new capacitance. Since the charge Q on the plates remains the same, by using eq. (1) we can find the new voltage across the capacitor:

V=\frac{Q}{C}=\frac{Q}{5.4 C_0}

And since Q=C_0 V_0, substituting into the previous equation, we find:

V=\frac{C_0 V_0}{5.4 C_0}=\frac{V_0}{5.4}=\frac{391 V}{5.4}=72.4 V
