Answer:

Radiocarbon dating

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating is a technique for determining the age of carbon-based materials derived from live beings. By measuring the quantity of carbon-14 in a sample and comparing it to an internationally accepted reference standard, an age may be determined. Radiocarbon dating is based on the basic principle that all living organisms absorb carbon from the atmosphere and food sources around them, including a small quantity of naturally radioactive carbon-14. When a plant or animal dies, it stops absorbing carbon, but the radioactive carbon it has stored decays.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

96558.00 kilometers

Explanation:

<em>From the title of the novel, it is assumed that the submarine covered 20,00 leagues on its journey.</em>

1 league = 3 miles, therefore;

20,000 leagues = 20,000 x 3 = 60,000 miles.

1 mile = 1.6093 km

Hence,

60,000 miles = 60,000 x 1.6093 km

            = 96,558 km

               = 96558.00 km to the 100's place

Therefore, 96558.00 kilometers was covered by Nautilus during the journey.
