What is the main reason why the age of the oldest rocks can vary from one part of the continent to another?

The options are

A. Older rocks are commonly remitted over huge regions

B. Older rocks have been uplifted and eroded away

C. Large parts of the continent are subducted deep within the mantle

D. Parts of the continent have been added by the accretion of tectonic terraces.

The answer is D. Parts of the continent have been added by the accretion of tectonic terraces.

The major reason why the age of the oldest rocks can vary from one part of the continent to another is that parts of continent have been added by the accretion of tectonic terraces.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
