Honors Physics - Final Exam Review with Complete Solutions What is the principle of superposition in wave interference? The principle of superposition states that when two or more waves overlap, the resulting wave is the sum of the individual waves' amplitudes. How does the frequency of a wave relate to its wavelength? The frequency of a wave is inversely related to its wavelength; as the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa. What is the role of an ele...

Your Place In Nature Test Questions and Answers Law of Superposition - Answer-The geologic principle that states that in horizontal layers of sedimentary rock, each layer is older than the layer above it and younger than the layer below it. Bioturbation - Answer-the disturbance of sedimentary deposits by living organisms parent horizon - Answer-layer of rock a fossil was buried in Biogeography - Answer-study of the distribution of organisms around the world tuffs - Answer-rocks for...

Convergent vs Divergent Evolution - ANSWER -Divergent: one broad class but because of different features they diverge -Convergent: similar features between 2 different classes Punctuated Equilibrium vs Gradualism - ANSWER -Punctuated: concrete & defined phenotypes -Gradualism: phenotypes gradually evolve Speciation - ANSWER Formation of new species 1) Allopatric: separated by geographical barrier (mountain, ocean, river) -Barrier divides species 1 and species 2 2) Parapatric...

Law of Superposition - Answer-Younger layers of rock sit atop older layers Law of Initial Horizontality - Answer-Layers of sedimentary rock are initially deposited flat in layers. relative age dating - Answer-the fossil assemblage existing within a rock specimen can be used to determine upper and lower possible age. Gives age range. Example: 100 to 200 mya. radiometric dating - Answer-the process of measuring the absolute age of geologic material by measuring the concentrations of radio...
