The answer is 15.5 gallons.
Answer:
It uses fossils to help pinpoint the ages of rocks.
Explanation:
Radiocarbon dating can not be used to determine the age of rocks.
Carbon dating works well only for objects that are less than 50,000 years. Most rocks are far older than that. Over time, carbon-14 decays gradually into nitrogen. Hence, we can not really use radiocarbon dating to determine the absolute age of a rock sample since the carbon-14 in the fossils of ancient rock samples may have completely decayed.
A rock's composition is not changed by mechanical weathering. Only the size of the fragments decreases. ... Mechanical weathering breaks rocks down into smaller fragments, and increases the surface area of the over all material. By increasing the surface area, chemical processes may act more easily upon the rock surface.
Answer: Hmmmmm that's crazy....
There are a couple of equations one could use for this type of problem, but I find the following to be the easiest to use and to understand.
Fraction remaining (FR) = 0.5n
n = number of half lives that have elapsed
In this problem, we need to find n and are given the FR, which is 1.56% or 0.0156 (as a fraction).
0.0156 = 0.5n
log 0.0156 = n log 0.5
-1.81 = -0.301 n
n = 6.0 half lives have elapsed
Explanation:
Just wanted to help. Hopefully it's correct wouldn't want to waster your time ;)
Answer:
either deposition or physical weathering
