Radiometric dating ______.

Biology
2 answers:
aleksklad [387]3 years ago

Answer:Radiometric dating allows us to indirectly date fossils up to billions of years old based on minerals in surrounding volcanic strata. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating was first used by geologist after being published by Bertram Bollywood in 1907. During volcanic eruption, some minerals ( carbon) are trapped within the volcanic strata. These minerals are made up of radioactive isotopes which are unstable as they form decay products with a known constant rate of decay. This enables them to :

- access information about the absolute age of rocks,

- date a wide range of natural and man-made materials

- know even the age of earth. I hope this helps. Thanks

Answer: Option D.

Radiometric dating allows to indirectly date up to billions of years old based on minerals in surrounding volcanic strata.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating is a way of measuring decay radioactive elements to determine the age of rocks or earth materials or organic origin based objects. It is an accurate way to know the age of earth or rocks because it is done based on radioactive decay of unstable isotopes. This was first used during volcanic eruptions when carbon was present in the volcanic strata.

A) What is the aim of this experiment?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

A) The aim of the experiment is to test the plant for photosynthesis.

B) Sodium hydrogen carbonate is known to increase the amount of carbon dioxide supply to the plants. Hence, it the availability of sodium hydrogen carbonate ensures that carbon dioxide is not the limiting factor for the experiment.

C) Submerged water plants are used because using these plants makes it easier to measure the rate of photosynthesis. Water and carbon dioxide become readily available to the plant which are the reactants for photosynthesis.

For each of the following state if the cell is haploid or diploid
grandymaker [24]
General body cells (somatic cells) are diploid, meaning they have a full set of DNA. Gametes (sex cells) are haploid, because they join their nuclei at fertilization to form a complete diploid nucleus.
So:
 - Sperm cell = haploid
 - Liver cell = diploid
 - Egg cell = haploid
 - Stomach cell = diploid

Hope this helps! :)

Describe the northern and southern hemisphere in terms of the distribution of the cryosphere
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The cryosphere is the portion of the Earth's surface where water is in solid form. It thus includes sea ice, lake ice and river-ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets, and frozen ground. The snow cover has the largest extent, with a maximum area of more than 45 106 km2 (Table 1.1). Because of the present distribution of continents, land surfaces at high latitudes are much larger in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere. As a consequence, the large majority of the snow cover is located in the Northern Hemisphere (Figs. 1.15 and 1.16). The same is true for the freshwater ice that forms on rivers and lakes in winter. Both the snow cover and freshwater ice have a very strong seasonal cycle, as they nearly disappear in summer in both hemispheres (Table 1.1).
