Summary Introduction

The correct sequence of lettered features.

Introduction:

The scientists have developed many techniques and methods to detect the actual year of Earth. There are two types of data that are used to indicate the geological history of an area. These are relative data and numerical data. The relative data is helpful in determining the correct sequence of the formation of rock layers.

Explanation of Solution

Pictorial Representation: Fig 1 represents the correct sequence of lettered features.

EBK APPLICATIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS IN, Chapter 9, Problem 1LR

Fig 1: The correct sequence of lettered features (from oldest to youngest).

According to figure 10.24 given in the textbook, the letter featuring K is the youngest while the letter featuring A is the oldest. The letters are representations of rock layers. The layers A, B, C, D, and E are formed first while the layers F, G, H and I are formed latter. M and N are the faults that are responsible for the formation of layers F, G, H and I. The fault N cuts the layer A. K and L are the basalt layers.

Part 1: A completely saturated sample of sandstone has a bulk density of 2.61 g/cm³, an effective porosity of 10 percent, and a total porosity of 12 percent. Determine the density of the solid phase (i.e., the density of the mineral). Part 2: One cubic meter of quartz sand has a dry mass of 2,320 kg. a) Calculate the porosity of the sand. b) Calculate the mass (in kg) of the sand for the following degrees of saturation: 25 percent, 75 percent, 100 percent. Part 3: A sample of quartz sand has a dry mass of 753.7 kg and a volume of 0.36 m³. a) Calculate the porosity of the sand. b) Calculate the mass (in kg) of the sand assuming a degree of saturation equal to 62 percent.
