Data collected by the drilling ship Glomar Challenger confirmed that none of the ocean floor is more than about 180 million years old.

Glomar Challenger began drilling on both sides of the mid-ocean ridges to gather data. The data confirmed what the sea-floor spreading hypothesis predicted. The ocean floor is youngest along the central valley of the mid-ocean ridge while the ocean floor in subduction zones or near the edges of the continents is oldest. The data has confirmed that none of the ocean floor is more than 180 million years old because the older oceanic rock will undergo subduction and go back to the earth's mantle.

This sounds dumb to ask but how do grasslands get their water
iVinArrow [24]

Found at the lowest point of a large drainage area, these seasonal, marsh-like ponds collect and store water from rain and runoff. Unlike vernal pools, playas generally fill when temperatures are unsuitable for plant growth, and often the water is salty, alkali or both.

Which statement best explains why early humans in Africa tended to settle near rivers or river valleys?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

These areas had the most resources.

Explanation:

When you are settled by rivers, you have the sources you need to grow crops, raise life such as cows, pig, chicken. Not only this but you also have a place to bath, collect drinking water, and wash clothing. Life thrives more on river sides rather than inland during these times as they did not have all the tech we do today.

A plane leaves Charlottetown, PEI at 12:00pm on Saturday, May 2nd. The destination is Yellowknife, NWT. The flight takes 17 hour
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: 5am on Sunday, May 3rd.

Explanation:

Plane left at 12pm and takes 17 hours.

Add 12 and 17:

= 12 + 17

= 29

There are 24 hours in a day. The number of hours into the next day is therefore:

= 29 - 24

= 5 hours

If the plan arrives 5 hours into the next day, that would mean that it arrived at 5am. Date of the next day is May 3rd, a Sunday.
