ne specimen that dates to about 3.2 million years ago, were dated based on carbon-14 analysis. You note that this is incorrect becausea. carbon-14 analysis cannot provide accurate date estimates that far into the past.b. Lucy is a fossil hominid, meaning her bones are no longer actually bone but rather rock.c. palaeomagnetic dating is the only way to arrive at that numerical age.d. All of the above

Answer:

The answer is Option D. All of the above.

Explanation:

Fossils are formed when living organisms become trapped in the earth and their soft tissues decompose but leave behind the hard tissues like bone. The bones gradually become rock due to the sediments that begin to cover the bones. Therefore, the fossil remains of Lucy are no longer bones and cannot provide the organic material that is necessary when trying to achieve carbon-14 dates from an ancient site. It is also true that C-14 dating tends not to be very accurate with a specimen as old as Lucy. There are new dating techniques being experimented with all the time in this branch of research, like the 40Ar/39Ar (Argon-Argon) dating technique, but in general, scientists have used paleomagnetic studies to try to date fossil remains as old as Lucy's.

These are 2 actions taken by Barbados, a Caribbean counry. You should have no problem commenting on them. Hope this helps.

Barbados will significantly strengthen its financial risk management of natural disasters and extreme climate events with a US$80 million contingent loan approved by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) that provides a stable, cost-effective, and quick access instrument to cover immediate extraordinary public expenditures during emergencies caused by severe or catastrophic natural disasters.

In 2003, the Barbados government embraced the Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM) Strategy. This strategy represented a deliberate attempt by the CDEMA Participating States to holistically incorporate all phases of the disaster management cycle (prevention, mitigation, preparedness and response, recovery, and rehabilitation) while focusing on promoting and accelerating disaster risk reduction initiatives.Barbados is also the CDEMA Central Sub-regional Focal Point (SRFP) for the Eastern Caribbean with response responsibility for the countries of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, and the Commonwealth of Dominica. A regional model SRFP Protocol has been developed by CDEMA and Barbados is in the process of adapting it (DEM, 2010).
