Answer the question below:
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

D) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

As we know that when she found the substance it must have some fixed ratio of radioactive uranium and Lead in that substance.

Here since Uranium is radioactive substance so it will continuously convert into Lead and this ratio will change with time

So here we can say that the ratio of radioactive uranium and lead will depend on its decay rate

now to find the age of the substance we can find the present ratio of lead and uranium in that substance and then compare it with freshly prepared substance.

so by the formula

we can find the age of the sample

1) What describes the unusually large release of plasma from the sun's corona?
sergey [27]
1) The correct answer is CME:
In fact, CME stands for "Coronal Mass Ejection", and they are huge release of plasma and magnetic field from the corona of the Sun.

2) The only statement that could be true is "<span>X and Y are both within the solar system."
In fact, the distance between X and Y is 30.2 AU (1 AU is the distance between Earth and Sun). Pluto, the farthest planet from the Sun, is located at approximately 40 AU from the Sun:  the distance between X and Y is smaller than this value, so they could be both in the solar system.</span>
