A planar projection map is most useful for sea navigation. True or False
svp [43]

True, A 'planar projection map' is helpful for sea navigation.

<u>Explanation: </u>

A 'planar projection map' that shows the particulars of the globe in a flat surface projection. The pictures projected by the map are shown in rectangular-shaped. If any other map such as Cylindrical map is used then, the edges are not so perfect, they show distortion. With the help of all three coordinates, it shows a 3-D picture of the globe and its objects which can be considered almost as real as the actual object. They are also known as azimuthal projections and are mostly used in projecting polar regions.

The image shows sedimentary rock layers with index fossils and a fault.
svetlana [45]

The correct answer is - Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age.

On this image we can see multiple layers that have been cut through and displaced by a fault. The layer 2 and the layer 9 despite not being at the same level, with level 2 being closer to the surface, while layer 9 deeper into the ground, we can still see signs that they actually have the same relative age.

We can notice that these two layers have the same relative age because of two things. The first thing is the index fossils, with both of these layers having the same fossils from the same geologic period. The second thing that gives us a clue is their composition which is pretty much identical, thus indicating of a same geological period.
