The diagram shows horizontal rock layers.

Which statement is accurate?

Layer C is younger than layer A.
Layer D has an older relative age than layer C.
If a geologic event tilted these layers, layer B would no longer be the oldest.
It is possible to determine the absolute age of layer C with the information given.

Answers

Answer:

A.Layer C is younger than layer A.

Explanation:

The diagram shows horizontal rock layers. The statement which is accurate is Layer C is younger than layer A. Thus the correct answer is A.

What is rock?

Inorganic particles that have developed and cemented together to form a strong structure are called rocks. It depends on the rock type in which some are big, some are little. A material or element makes up every rock.

Wind erosion, deposition, consolidation, and complexation are the processes that create these horizontal layers. This method makes layers by depositing and developing newer layers of older layers.

Layer C is said to be younger than Layer A because it is placed above A according to layer formation the new layer developed above the old layer so this will be accurate according to the diagram.

Therefore, option A Layer C is younger than layer A is appropriate.

Using the slope formula, the slope of the first line is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (11 -6)/(-7 -(-3)) = 5/-4 = -5/4

The slope of the second line is ...

  m = (4 -8)/(-4 -1) = -4/-5 = 4/5 . . . . . opposite reciprocal to the first slope
