What is the difference between clastic and bioclast?

Physics
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago
8 0
The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i.e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.

The base of a right prism is a rhombus with diagonals of 6 and 8. If the altitude of the prism is 12, what is the total surface
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

total surface area is 432

Explanation:

Given data

base  = 6

diagonals = 8

altitude = 12

to find out

total surface area

solution

we know total surface area of prism is

total surface area = lateral surface area + 2base area  ..............1

so

first we calculate base perimeter i.e = 2 length + 2 width

so perimeter = 2(8) + 2(6) = 25

and area  = length * width = 8*6 = 48

so lateral surface area is perimeter * height i.e

lateral surface area = 28* 12

lateral surface area = 336

put this value in equation 1 we get

total surface area = lateral surface area + 2base area

total surface area = 336 + 2(48)

total surface area is 432

2.5 gram sample of a radioactive element was formed in a 1960 explosion of an atomic bomb at Johnson Island in the Pacific Test
kow [346]

Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which  half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams
