Some geologists are finding evidence that suggests that this one-mile deep canyon may have been cut within the last 4 million ye

ars. Assuming a uniform rate of erosion and without considering canyon widening due to slope retreat, calculate how much (in millimeters per year) the Colorado River would have to downcut per year to form this mile-deep canyon in 4 million years. Show your work and clearly indicate what each quantity represents.

The number that Colorado River would have to downcut per year to form the mile-deep canyon in 4 million years is 0.40 millimeter per year.

Depth of canyon = 1 mile

Time taken = 4 million years

Based on the above information, the rate will be:

= Depth / Time taken

= 1 mile / 4 million years

= 0.25 mile / million year

Note tha<em>t 1 mile = 1609344 millimeter</em>

<em />

Therefore, the rate will be:

= (0.25 × 1609344) / 1000000 years

= 0.40 millimeter / years

In conclusion, the rate is 0.40 millimeter per year.

Russia, the world's largest country (by total area), comprises much of northern Eurasia, and stretches over a vast expanse of Europe and Northern Asia.[1] Due to its size, Russia displays both monotony and diversity. As with its topography, its climates, vegetation, and soils span vast distances.[2] From north to south the East European Plain is clad sequentially in tundra, coniferous forest (taiga), mixed and broadleaf forests, grassland (steppe), and semi-desert (fringing the Caspian Sea) as the changes in vegetation reflect the changes in climate. Siberia supports a similar sequence but is predominantly taiga. The country contains forty UNESCO biosphere reserves

There are three main reasons why people are concerned that cell phones (also known as “mobile” or “wireless” telephones) might have the potential to cause certain types of cancer or other health problems:


Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of non-ionizing radiation, from their antennas. Tissues nearest to the antenna can absorb this energy.

The number of cell phone users has increased rapidly. As of December 2014, there were more than 327.5 million cell phone subscribers in the United States, according to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association. This is a nearly threefold increase from the 110 million users in 2000. Globally, the number of subscriptions is estimated by the International Telecommunications Union to be 5 billion.

Over time, the number of cell phone calls per day, the length of each call, and the amount of time people use cell phones have increased. However, improvements in cell phone technology have resulted in devices that have lower power outputs than earlier models.
