Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5500 years. 
The original mass is 30 g and the new mass is 3.75 g. 
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives; 
3.75 = 30 × (1/2)^n
 1/8 = (1/2)^n
 n = 3 
Thus, the time taken will be; 3 × 5500 = 16500 years.

Which post disaster phase is generally characterized by optimism due to an infusion of resources?
Tamiku [17]
I think the answer is Honeymoon phase. Post disaster periods are usually divided into four phases. These includes; Heroic phase, Honeymoon phase, Disillusionment phase and Reconstruction phase. Heroic phase occurs immediately after the disaster strikes. Honeymoon phase occurs immediately in the first few days after the disaster. Disillusionment phase, the community and the survvors are already getting tired and impatient. Reconstruction phase, it is the long term phase of the disaster where we must manage the expectations of the public regarding the ongoing recovery process.

Darwin understood the centrality of development in a deep and profoundly vital manner, both for animals and for flora. His notebooks document his cautious studying and interest in animal embryology and plant leaf and floral organ morphogenesis.

Butterfly-pollinated plants usually have pretty flashy flowers in hues like crimson and purple. these plants do not have the quantity of pollen that bee-attracting flowers do, however they've huge components of nectar to feed the butterflies.
