What are some of the challenges in deciphering what is on ancient papyrus?

1 answer:

5 0

Some of the challenges are:

Finding out what the characters carved/written on the papyrus are because the papyrus is so weathered and roughed up.
Then actually deciphering the characters was another challenge.
You basically had to have an idea of what the characters meant ^^

Telescope A has a diameter of 1.00 meters, while telescope B’s diameter is 9.00 meters. What is the ratio of the angular resolut

Mama L [17]

Answer:

the ratio of resolution will be $\frac{1}{9}$

Explanation:

We have given the diameter of Telescope A is 1 meter

And diameter of telescope B is 6 meter

We know that resolution of telescope is inversely proportional to diameter of the telescope

So $resolution\ \propto\frac{1}{diameter}$

We have to find the ratio of resolution of B to A

So $\frac{\Delta \Theta _B}{\Delta \Theta _A}=\frac{D_A}{D_B}=\frac{1}{9}$

So the ratio of resolution will be $\frac{1}{9}$

9. Which forces do scientists believe are responsible for the movement of Earth's

SIZIF [17.4K]

The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.

Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.

* What are the major causes of death in each stage<br> of the demographic transition?

Liula [17]

Answer:

During the first phase, the population growth rate rises as the death rate declines while the birth rate remains high. In the second phase, the growth rate declines (but remains positive) due to a decline in the birth rate.
