High mass stars are far more massive than the sun, and therefore have a much larger gravitational impact. A star of 100 solar masses (100x larger than the sun) has a much shorter life than that of the sun because the forces that cause the star to expand and "burn" have to work harder to overcome the much larger gradational impact. While the sun has a life span of approximately 8 billion years; the life of a red giant of 100 solar masses would be at best a few hundred million years because gravity will overcome the counteracting force of fusion. (resulting in a supernova, black hole, white dwarf, or other astronomical anomaly.)
Answer:
1. Applying <u>the principle of original horizontality</u> -indicates that layers were repositioned from a flat-lying orientation.
2. Magma intrudes into layers of sedimentary rock and displaces them. We can deduce that the intruded magma that crystallizes is younger than the surrounding sedimentary layers by applying <u>the principle of crosscutting relationships</u>.
3. While visiting the Grand Canyon, you are amazed by the depth of layers of sedimentary rock before you, <u>the law of superposition</u>-- is evident here where progressively younger layers have formed over time and are stacked upon each other.
4. A fault cuts through layers of limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate. The surrounding layers must be <u>older</u> than the fault.
5. A mass of granite has inclusions of surrounding sandstone. The sandstone and surrounding layers show evidence of uplift over time. The granite must be <u>younger</u> than the sand deposits.
