How does sedimentary rock from the ocean floor sometimes end up in highland and mountainous regions on the Earth? (22.5)

(a) Sedimentary rock is commonly made inside volcanoes.
(b) Wind and water carry the sediment to the mountaintops.
(c) It is believed that asteroid impacts probably caused the sedimentary rock to move great distances.
(d) The sedimentary rock was uplifted by powerful forces to form mountain chains.

Suppose a team of scientists is studying the formation of an island chain generated by four extinct volcanoes. To determine when each volcano became extinct, the scientists calculated the age of the youngest layer of igneous rocks on each island. After a recent research trip, the identifying tag of a sample rock was lost. The scientists ask you to help identify the sample rock's parent volcano. The scientists give you some information. 1) The initial ratio of strontium-87 to strontium-86 in the rock was 0.7129. 2) The decay constant, 1, for rubidium-87 is 1.42 x 10-1!. 3) The current isotope concentrations in the rock are 8" Sr = 126 ppm, 8'Rb = 218 ppm, and 8ºSr = 175 ppm. %3D Use the isochron equation to calculate the approximate age of the mystery rock. 87. Sto + 87 Sr [edr – 1] 86 Sr, 86 86 Where possible, retain at least four significant figures throughout your calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest 100 million years. million years t =

Rates of tectonic uplift can be determined from the age and elevation of stream terraces, flat-surfaced deposits of streambed sediment that represent ancient floodplains. By dating the age of the terraces and measuring the elevation of the terrace, the uplift rate is the difference in elevation of the terraces divided by the difference in ages of the terraces. A terrace at 164 m elevation is 101,000 years old while another terrace at 111 m is 24,800 years old. What is the rate
