Answer:
Parallax would be most effective in measuring distances to stars which are close to the Earth.
Explanation:
In the experiment,
- The parallax shift would decrease as the pencil would move further away from the scientist's eye, so option 1 would be invalid.
- the size of the pencil remains constant, so option 2 would be invalid.
- the parallax shift can be observed when the pencil has objects in the background to provide relation, that is to say, the shift of the pencil when seen relative to background objects; therefore, if we assume that the pencil is a star nearby to the Earth, and the background objects are stars that are further away, then the shift of, and thus, distance to the nearby star can be easily observed.
<span>The subduction of oceanic crust under continental crust predominantly produces violent and explosive types of volcanic eruption.
This is because this type of lava is created at low temperatures, but would cause a violent and explosive eruption at some point in time.</span>
Answer:
They found evidence of an impact crater in Mexico
Explanation:
The K-Pg boundary is the boundary that separates two periods, but also two eras. The two periods that are separated by this boundary are the Cretaceous and the Tertiary, while the two eras are the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic. The boundary is marked by a mass extinction, and the scientists started to hypothesize as to why it happened. There were numerous different theories, but a clue in Mexico, or rather right next to the Yucatan Peninsula, shed new light on it. The scientists found an impact crater, formed either by a large asteroid or a comet. Such an impact would have easily caused sudden and drastic changes on the Earth, killing of the majority of the species. This impact released such a big amount of energy that it killed everything in the surrounding area in seconds. On top of that, it caused an extremely hot wave of air across the whole planet, killing many more organisms. It managed to trigger most of the volcanoes to erupt, as well as the earthquakes, causing also very large tsunamis. The sunlight got blocked for quite some time from all the aerosols in the atmosphere as well. This resulted in a mass extinction of the dominant species, like the dinosaurs, but it opened up the terrain for the evolution of the others, like the mammals.
