If the basalt at the top of the ancient valley below Vulcan's Throne yields a radiometric date (K-Ar) of 15,000 years, and the lowermost flows in the same valley yield an age of 1.2 million years, what is the rate of basalt filling in the valley in feet per million years (ft/my).

feet/million year

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Elevation of top of basalt in valley =4100 feet

Elevation of bottom of basalt in valley =2100 feet

Age of top of basalt in valley=15000 years

Age of bottom of basalt in valley=1.2 million years=

We have to find the rate of basalt filling in the valley in feet per million yeas

Rate of basalt filling in the valley=

Rate of basalt filling in the valley=

Rate of basalt filling in the valley=feet/million year

step-by-step explanation:

there are 36 inches in a yard

25 : 36 = 0.69 yards (you can round to 0.70)

both graphs increase on their domain

neither graph has a y-intercept

step-by-step explanation:

the following points can be visualized easily from the graph
