Answer:

B

Explanation:

Oceanic crust is the Earth's lithosphere's outermost layer located under the oceans and formed on the oceanic ridges at spreading centers that occur at divergent plate boundaries (ridge axis).

It is covered by a thin blanket of sediment that thickens away from the ridge axis.

Oceanic crust is different from the continental crust in numerous ways. For instance; It is younger, thinner, and denser than continental crust. Furthermore, It also has a different chemical composition.

What do worms eat? Why are whale remains able to support so much life?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Some of the things that worms eat include dead plants, live plants, dead animals, animal poop, and other microscopic animals. After they eat, they grind up and digest their food and pass the rest as waste, called castings, which go back into the soil and help plants grow and stay healthy.

Whale skeletons support so much life because they contain an enormous amount of oil. Before this happens, they must release enough eggs or larvae so that some tiny proportion will be transported by the ocean currents and survive until they can find and colonize another whale carcass.

More than 75 percent

Explanation:

Let us carefully analyze this problem:

The half life of the rubidium isotope = 50 billion years

   The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for it to decay to half of its original amount.

  Every 50years, we know that a rubidium isotope would split into half.

Initially when the isotope was formed, we would only have the parent atoms there. There wont be any daughter;

  ratio of parent to daughter = 100 : 0

When the isotope decays to half; we would have equal number of parent and daughter:

  ratio of parent to daughter at half life = 50 : 50

The age of the earth is about 4.6billion years;

this is;

          \frac{4.6}{50} x 100 = 9.2% of the half-life of the rubidium isotope.

At this time, we should know that only 9.2 percent of the daughter would have been formed.

The remaining parent would be 100 - 9.2 = 90.8% would still be left undecayed.

The ratio of parent to daughter  = 90.8 : 9.2

This is more than 75% of the parent

Plato found not only answers but also a method for humans everywhere to work out answers without needing to rely on memorizing t
Ghella [55]

Answer: Plato is an author of "dialogues" (The Republic, Laws etc etc.) where the main character is Socrates. Socrates is a philosopher who uses a special kind of dialogue (so-called dialectic dialogue or dialectic method) which leads him to the truth. In other words he follows LOGOS who leads him to uncovering the Truth.

Explanation: Greek word ALETHEIA means "disclosure" and "truth" at the same time. It means that truth is always hidden. Much older Greek philosopher (pre-Socratic) Heraclitus had a dictum: "Truth likes to hide"....it seems that Socrates/Plato followed this thesis.
