There is a deep trench in the sea floor off the Marianas volcanic arc of explosive, andesitic, Ring of Fire volcanoes in the Sou

th Pacific, but the water is not deep off the coast of Oregon and Washington near Mt. St. Helens and the Olympic, because:_________.
A) The Marianas, Oregon and Washington have trenches, but the trench off Oregon and Washington is filled by discarded Microsoft Windows CDs that are obsolete because of all the virus problems.
B) Oregon and Washington are near a subduction zone, but the Marianas are not.
C) The Marianas, Oregon and Washington have had the sea floor bent downward by subduction to make trenches, the trench off Oregon and Washington is filled by sediment eroded from the nearby continent, but the Marianas don't have a nearby continent and so the trench there is not filled with sediment.
D) The trench off Oregon and Washington is filled with great basaltic lava flows from the hot spot that feeds the Cascades volcanoes.
E) The Marianas are near a subduction zone, but Oregon and Washington are not.

What real world scenarios best exemplifies the concept of hierarchical diffusion?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Hierarchical diffusion is one of six ways cultures can spread around the world (what we call ‘types of cultural diffusion’). What makes hierarchical diffusion unique is that it involves the spread of culture starting from the most powerful and influential people within the culture.

Once the influential people embrace a certain culture, the rest of the culture are more likely to follow.

The isotope silicon 32 decays into phosphorus 32. Silicon 32 has a half-life of 170 years and can be used to find the age of roc
eduard

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

B. In a given rock sample, the amount of Silicon-32 isotopes gets divided in half about every 170yrs.

This is the concept of half-life. Half life is the time take for half of a radioactive isotope to disintegrate. The shorter the half life the faster the isotope disintegrates.

From the question, we were told that it would take 170yrs for half of the isotope of Silicon to disintegrate to Phosphorus. This is the half life.

C. The half life can be used to determine the amount of Si-32 that has decayed from the time closure temperature was reached.

The closure temperature is very important in radioactivity. It is the temperature at which a system has cooled and there is no resulting disintegration of parent and daughter isotopes.

From first order kinetics, we know that the rate at which radioactive elements decay at any time is directly proportional to the number of radioactive atoms present. A knowledge of the half life helps to figure out the number of atoms that has decayed in time.
