Sedna is a trans-Neptunian object with a composition of rock and ices, likely including water, methane, and nitrogen. It is expected to have a surface layer composed mostly of frozen volatiles, such as methane and water ice, with a possible rocky core. The exact structure of Sedna's interior and exterior layers is still uncertain due to limited observational data.
The oldest layers of sediments are typically found at the bottom of a sedimentary rock sequence, with the youngest layers at the top. Over time, new layers of sediments accumulate on top of older layers, creating a chronological sequence with the oldest layers at the bottom.
Geologists know that rock layers are undisturbed by examining the relationships between the different layers. If the layers are parallel and show no signs of folding, tilting, or faulting, they are likely undisturbed. Additionally, the presence of index fossils can help date the layers and determine if they have been disturbed.
Rock layers that are arched upward typically form anticlines. Anticlines are characterized by an upward curve or fold in rock layers where the oldest layers are found in the center of the fold and the youngest layers are found on the outer edges.
Soil layers that can be penetrated by water are typically the topsoil and subsoil layers. These layers are important for water infiltration, root penetration, and nutrient cycling. The ability of water to penetrate these layers is crucial for plant growth and ecosystem functioning.
Compositional layers refer to the different layers of the Earth based on their chemical composition, such as the crust, mantle, and core. Mechanical layers, on the other hand, are based on the physical properties and how they behave under stress, like the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere. The crust, mantle, and core are compositional layers, while the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere are mechanical layers.
Sedna likely has a rocky core surrounded by a layer of water and ammonia compounds, followed by an outer layer of water ice. The exact composition and structure of its interior layers are still uncertain due to limited observational data.
Not "a" Sedna; just "Sedna". Sedna is the Inuit goddess of the sea. Also, a dwarf planet named after this goddess.
Sedna
No. Sedna is currently classified as a planetoid.
There is not a way to tell how many km are from the sun to Sedna. It is a long distence from the sun to Sedna.
Sedna is a small DWARF planet made of ice and rock.
Sedna does not have any moons. It is a planetoid located in the outer reaches of the Solar System beyond the Kuiper Belt.
Sedna is not a moon of Saturn. It is a dwarf planet that is located in the outer parts of the Solar System. Sedna was discovered in 2003.
