Why is putting rock layers in order by age useful to geologist?

Geography
1 answer:
iVinArrow [24]3 years ago

Rock layers in order is basically natures calendar.

The highest layer is the newest formed layer 
While the deepest layer was the oldest and probably has been there from some time
And everything in between goes accordingly

So putting rocks in order by age helps scientists better understand what was there before what and how the rocks changed over time.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following best describes the difference between the Poles and the Tropics?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The Tropics receive more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer climates. The Poles receive  almost no direct sunlight, resulting in a colder climate.

Explanation:

The tropics and the poles are two totally different regions on Earth. The differences can be seen in pretty much everything, from climate conditions to soil, geography, biosphere, precipitation, human activity, etc. One of the most noticeable and most important differences between the two is definitely the angle at which the sunlight falls.

The tropics are the region that receives sunlight at direct or close to direct angle all year round. This means highly concentrated sunlight and warm or hot weather conditions all year round. The poles are the region that receives sunlight at the lowest angle, having it constantly for around half a year, and then lacking it for half a year. This means very dispersed sunlight which can not warm up the surface and air, so the weather conditions are very cold all year round.
