In this section of undistrubed sedimentary layers, which best describes layer 2?

• It was intruded into layer 1

• It was intruded into layer 3

• In was deposited after layer 1

• In was deposited after layer 3.

The rock shown is composed primarily of large crystals that were formed by

• Cooling magna

• Compacting shells

• weathering

• faulting

Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.5° relative to the plane of its orbit, which helps to cause-

• the seasons

• day and night

• the lunar phases

• high and low tides

Some fuels are classified as nonrenewable because they - (a)  

• produce toxic waste
• can be easily recycled
• come from deep within Earth
• require a long period of time form

These geologic cross sections show the location of three fossilized species (W, X, and Y) found in rock layers at two nearby sites. Species X is probably the oldest species because it is found

• below species W

• in the lowest layer

• above the ash layer

• in sandstone
