B. deep in the crust of the Earth
C. as a result of mountain building
D. All of the above
E. None of the above
The scales used to describe the magnitude of an earthquake are logarithmic, meaning that each increase of one number in the scale corresponds to a ten-fold increase in the maximum ground motion.
A. True
B. False
The principle of fossil succession says:
A. fossil fuels are formed from buried organic matter
B. an inclusion is older than the rock in which it is found
C. fossil assemblages are found in a predictable sequence
D. sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers
E. fossils are the remains and traces of once living things
Explanation / Answer
D. All of the above
Metamorphism occurs adjacent to igneous intrusions ,metamorphic rocks can indicate the chemical changes that have occurred at various depths and also occurs because of mountain-building
True
The magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm of the amplitude of waves recorded by seismographs
fossil assemblages are found in a predictable sequence
