WILL CHOOSE BRAINLIEST!!! About 40% of the world's population lives within 100 kilometers of the coastal area. A student is aske

d to identify and explain which type of renewable energy resource is most appropriate for these areas.
Which information best completes the student's assignment?
A. Floating solar panels are most appropriate because coastal areas are cloudy and offshore waves are always calm.
B. Fossil fuels are most appropriate because coastal winds will prevent the accumulation of pollution along coastal areas
C. Nuclear energy is most appropriate because seawater is readily available in coastal areas and can be used to cool the nuclear reactors.
D. Wind energy is most appropriate because offshore wind is nearly constant in the coastal areas and is easy to transmit to the communities.

Answer: I believe the answer must be D.

Explanation: Because wind is a renewable energy source as it can appear and disappear in general and it happens a lot within coastal areas! It's definitely needed! Solar panels cannot really float and it would be unusual for that to happen if I am being honest. Fossil fuels are not renewable and they take a lot of years for them to decompose and they cause lots of pollution. I'm not sure about C, but I don't find the answer to be correct because I feel it best for nuclear energy to be most appropriate in places with nuclear equipment like labs or factories. This is my best guess and I hope you get this right!!

I hope this helped you, but please double-check with your teacher on this question! Good Luck!! :)

A radioactive isotope of the element potassium decays to produce argon. If the ratio of argon to potassium is found to be 7:1, h
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The answer is Option B, 3 half-lives.

Explanation:

Potassium–argon dating (K–Ar dating) is a radiometric dating method. It measures the radioactive decay of an isotope of potassium (K) into argon (Ar). Potassium is a common element found in many materials like clay and certain minerals. The technique is best suited to dating minerals and rocks more than 100,000 years old. For shorter timescales, it is unlikely that enough argon (40  Ar) will have accumulated. This dating method is used by geologists and paleoanthropologists in order to understand very great expanses of time and the deposits that the earth has formed. One paleoanthropological example of how the technique has been used is in bracketing the age of deposits at Olduvai Gorge where hominin remains have been found. The scientists have dated lava flows above and below the deposits where fossils have been found. Other paleoanthropological discoveries have also been dated using this technique. It is well suited to sites that show evidence of volcanic activity, as in the case of East African sites like Hadar, Ethiopia.

algol13

Answer:

Correct Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

The Hayward earthquake which happened in 1868 was minimal in terms of death of people (Approximately 5 ) and the properties destroyed. This is because, then, the area was sparsely populated.

<em>Currently, the area of the active earthquake is densely populated with buildings, and people. Should there be any earthquake there now, the damage would be devastating inclusive of the number of people dying being in high number.</em>
