Because water has a very high specific heat, it is very common that areas near oceans or large lakes tend to have more moderate and warmer climates than those that are away from these big bodies of water.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The specific heat of any particular substance is usually defined as the amount of heat energy that is required to raise a unit mass of the material by 1°C. The water has this high heat capacity as a result of which the water bodies such as oceans, seas and lakes tends to become hot and cold at a much slower rate.

This is why the near coastal areas or the areas that are near to water bodies have a moderate type of climate than the areas that are far away from these water bodies.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Write a paragraph on Rome's impact on Western Civilization and Culture today. PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!
Evgesh-ka [11]

The impact of ancient Rome on western civilization cannot be hibernated. Though it has been thousands of years since the reign of the Roman Empire, but the traces are still evident in today's world. Some of the notable impacts can be found in today's architecture, arts, laws, engineering, constructions, languages etc. It is said that the Latin language, which was spoken by the Romans, went as far as Western Europe and many languages emerged from Latin. These languages are called the "Romance languages." They include Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian and Portuguese. As a result of this, over 800 million people around the world speak a Romance language. Rome is also associated with the Catholic church, it is believed that the Romans helped spread Christianity in Europe, and today it is the largest religion in the world.

What kind of fossil aging is used when scientists use the law of superposition?
-BARSIC- [3]
When scientists use the law of superposition to determine the age of a fossil, they go by the principle of 'every undisturbed layer of rock is older than the layer above it. This is not the most precise way of determining age, and in fact this method can only reveal the approximate age, but not the exact one.

Calculate the amount, in grams, of an original 300-gram sample of radioactive isotope Potassium-40 remaining after
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.

Explanation:

The amount of the sample of the radioactive isotope decays exponentially in time, the amount of mass of the sample as a function of time (m (t)), in grams, is described below:

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} } (1)

Where:

m_{o} - Initial mass, in grams.

t - Time, in years.

\tau - Time constant, in years.

The time constant can be found from half life (t_{1/2}), in years, described in statement:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2} (2)

If we know that m_{o} = 300\,g, t = 3.9\times 10^{9}\,yr and t_{1/2} = 1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr, then the current amount of the sample is:

\tau = \frac{1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr}{\ln 2}

\tau \approx 1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr

m = (300\,g)\cdot e^{-\frac{3.9\times 10^{9}\,yr}{1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr} }

m\approx  37.521\,g

The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.
