The correct answer is B. Less arable land.
Arable land is the main reason why the land is cleared. Arable land is the land that is suitable for ploughing and of sufficient quality for growing plants. So for this reason, the forests are cleared (by cutting the trees and bushes) and more land for agriculture is gained.
Let's call your number n. Twice your number is 2n. The product of your number and twice your number (so n multiplied by 2n) is 128.
Set up an equation:
n × 2n = 128
2n² = 128
Divide both sides by 2:
n² = 64
Square root both sides to isolate n:
n = 8
The question asks for half your number, so just half 8:
8 ÷ 2 = 4.
Half your number is 4.
Answer:
Movements along faults can make it harder for geologists to determine the relative ages of rock layers.
Explanation:
The absolute age of a sample is its age in years. This method of determining absolute age is called radiometric dating, and it involves the decay, or breakdown, of radioactive elements. Using radiometric dating, scientists can determine the actual age of a rock.
