Based on radiometric dating, the oldest rocks scientists have found on Earth are 4.6 billion years old, but not ALL rocks are th

at old. Why might some rocks be 4.6 billion years old, and other rocks are only 2 billion years old, while yet others are only a few thousands years old?

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Because similar to living things, some rocks are formed and it takes a long period to degrade them. During this period new rocks are born, some of these rocks can react with some compounds of the environment and can form new rocks or can be degraded.

What I try to say is that rock formation takes a lot of time and while some rocks disappear new rocks are created.

frozen [14]

Answer:

Some statements of the question are missing but it can be understand as the Hydrogen bonds are Easy to break, Less amount of heat required, Less amount of enzyme needed and Can be broken by mild concentration of enzyme.

Explanation:

Weak bonds like hydrogen bonds are found to beneficial in some situations. During the duplication of chromosomes which occurs in S phase of cell cycle the DNA replicated. This replication is facilitated by separation of the two strands of DNA and formation of complimentary strand on the two primary strands. The enzymes involved in the process of separation of strands are DNA helicase and Topoisomerase mainly. As the bonds between the strands are weak hydrogen bonds, the enzymes function effectively without requiring extra heat or more saturation. It will found to be difficult if those bonds will be covalent bonds because they are much stronger than hydrogen bonds and are not easily broken by these enzymes. Extra processes will be required to break those strong bonds.
