Thinking Critically Potassium-40 decays to

Biology
1 answer:
mamaluj [8]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes of Potassium-40 generally observed to decay to argon-40 and calcium 40, also called daughter isotopes. The problem arises with the calcium 40 radioisotopes which cannot be used for age determination due to its excessive presence.

Explanation:

The radioactive isotopes Potassium 40 decays to argon 40 helps in determining age of fossils and rocks mainly due to the fact that extreme heat causes radioactive potassium to decay to noble argon-40 gas. The rate of decay is attributed to its half life period which in turns help in finding the relative age of fossils or rocks. But, problem occurs when it decays to calcium 40, as because calcium forms large part of many minerals including bone.

Four fishermen fished for the same amount of time in different ponds. Which catch most likely came from the pond with the highes
irina [24]

Correct Answer: B. Catch B  

Explanation: Fish depend on dissolved oxygen to survive. Ponds with high levels of dissolved oxygen will support more fish (and larger fish) than ponds with low levels of dissolved oxygen. Trout are particularly sensitive to dissolved oxygen levels, so a pond with a healthy trout population probably has high levels of dissolved oxygen.

How would you revise the simulation so users can evaluate the role of human activity in the pH of the ocean? NEED HELP NOW!!!
ladessa [460]

Answer: I would increase the temperature of the ocean and lower the percentage of pH so that users see how the ocean is affected by human activity, human activity causes the pollution of the air that causes CO2, which leads to all that CO2 is absorbed by the seas thus increasing the amount of acidity which brings as a consequence the increase in temperature and the dissolution of coral reefs.
