Five layers of rock are cut by two faults. Both faults cut through all five layers of rock. Fault A breaks through to the surface, whereas fault B does not. Which of the following statements about faults A and B is most accurate?
A. Faults A and B are about the same age, and both are younger than the five layers of rock.
B. Fault A is younger than fault B, and both are younger than the five layers of rock.
C. Faults A and B are about the same age, and both are older than the five layers of rock.
D. Fault A is younger than fault B, and both are older than the five layers of rock.

Study the image. which feature is modeled in the diagram? check all that apply. 1 a convergent boundary is formed. 2 continental plates are colliding. 3 two plates are forming a divergent boundary. 4 continental plates are sliding past each other. 5 several mid-ocean ridges are formed on earth’s surface.

Scientist: cross-sections of stalactites—calcite formations deposited on cave ceilings by seeping water—can reveal annual variations in rainfall in particular areas over hundreds and thousands of years. we often found that when—according to these cross-sections—drought occurred in a particular area, it coincided with the collapse of an ancient society in that area. i hypothesize that drought reduced agricultural productivity in these areas, thereby leaving these societies without the resources needed to handle internal stresses and external threats. which of the following, if true, would most weaken the support for the scientist's hypothesis? a. many droughts indicated in the cross-sections of stalactites do not correspond with the collapse of a society in that area. b. information from the cross-sections of stalactites alone cannot reveal the level of agricultural output in an area at a particular time. c. most of the societies that collapsed during droughts did so when internal power struggles coincided with military raids from neighboring societies. d. most of the societies that collapsed during droughts maintained large stockpiles of food and water at the time of their collapse. e. information from stalactites also suggests that the collapse of some societies coincided with periods of abnormally high rainfall.
