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.

Why is it that in the USA, tornadoes occur mainly during the summer and also in the afternoons?
melamori03 [73]
"1. moisture (water vapor) in the air near the surface
2.  instability - relatively large decrease of air temperature with height
3.  lift - some process (such as a front) that forces air to rise"

The air is dry during the summer and any moisture amount is increased in the afternoon as the temperature cools.

"!PLEASE HELP, I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!" (24 POINTS)
marta [7]
Eva (Evita) Perón's legacy has inspired books, musicals, & films; she escaped rural Argentina, where there were few opportunities, & gained prominence as a radio & movie star; Eva's popularity among masses assisted her husband (Juan Perón) in his rise to power; using her radio show to tell people about her husband's policies, she helped him win the support of the working class (whom she affectionately called the descamisados (shirtless ones)); although she didn't hold a political office, she received the honorary title "Spiritual Leader of the Nation"; promising redistribution of wealth, labor reform, & national glory for Argentina, the Peróns threatened security of the wealthy who held power & gave hope to the poor; even in death, Eva Perón remained a controversial figure
Juan Perón had her body embalmed & had planned a large memorial to immortalize her, but his government was overthrown & he was sent into exile in 1955; at that time, the new government hid her body in an attempt to get rid of any evidence of the Perón years; her enemies buried her in a secret grave in Italy, where her body remained until the 1970s; her; her body was eventually returned to Argentina & laid to rest in a family cemetery in Buenos Aires
Her legacy has been subject to different interpretations over time; her supporters view her as a powerful female leader who championed of the poor & middle classes; those who opposed her said she manipulated the masses for her own ambitions; historians continue to sift through diary entries, political documents, & letters to unravel more about the mysteries of Eva Perón
Controversy surrounding Perón rule's reflective of political & social divisions within Latin America
Most nations in South America had gained their independence from Spain by the middle of the 19th century; throughout the remaining decades of that century & into the 20th, many South American nations struggled with political instability; governments rose & fell quickly & military coups d'etat were common; Juan Perón of Argentina is just one example of these political struggles
