Rocks form in horizontal layers. However, as shown along mountainsides, rock layers can become twisted or bent. The work of James Hutton and Charles Lyell helped to explain observations of twisted or bent rock layers. What was one of their conclusions? A. Earth is extremely old, and Earth processes acted gradually to twist or bend rocks. B. Earth is only a few thousand years old, and Earth formed with many twisted or bent rocks. C. Earth is only a few thousand years old, and Earth processes acted much more rapidly in its early history. D. Earth is extremely old, and Earth formed with many twisted or bent rocks.

Research question: why are the carrots that grew on the left side of the garden larger than the carrots that grew on the right side of the garden? which hypothesis is based on this research question? a comparison of people with gardens to people without gardens will show who is likely to live longer. b. carrots are thought to be good for your eyesight and should be eaten regularly. c. carrots that are provided lots of sunlight grow to a larger size than carrots grown in the shade. d. eating fresh vegetables every day is a healthy thing to do.

Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. the continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. when the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. because of this, we would expect to find rocks in the area of a subduction. a) clastic b) igneous c) metamorphic d) sedimentary

Color blindedness is a sex-linked trait. if we could see the pedigree chart for several more generations of the family illustrated here, we would expect a) more males to be color blind. eliminate b) more females to be color blind. c) no females to ever be color blind. d) an equal number of males and females that are color blind.
