Answer:

The expansion and contraction of materials can also cause problems. For example, bridges expand in the summer heat and need special joints to stop them bending out of shape.A bimetallic strip has two metal strips glued together. One of these metals expands more for each degree temperature rise than that other.

The primary source of evidence proposed by many scientist to support the theory of an ancient earth is ____ dating.
vova2212 [387]
It depends on your definition of “ancient.” Radiometric dating using Carbon-14 can reliably date back to about 50,000 years, uranium-lead or lead-lead dating can date back multiple millions, potassium-argon dating can reach 1.5 billion, and rubidium-strontium can reach 50 billion (nearly 4x the age of the universe). It depends on the context in which this question is being asked.
