Not only does sediment spread horizontality and from youngest (top) to oldest (bottom), it also continues to spread flat in all directions until it either runs out of material—pinches off—or hits a barrier. this is known as the law of original horizontality law of superposition law of original lateral continuity law of gravity and oppositional force law of cross-cutting relationships

What function does a limb serve in each animal how are the limb bones of the four animal similar based on the similarities what can be inferred about the evolution of the poor animals

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i. e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
