Answer:

President Richard Nixon avoided being impeached by resigning to his post.

Explanation:

Richard Nixon was a Republican politician and the 37th President of the United States (1969-1974). He is the only US president who has resigned in the middle of his term. This came as a result of the complex Watergate scandal.

The biggest challenge during Nixon's presidency was the Vietnam War, launched by his predecessors, which ended with the 1973 peace treaty and the withdrawal of American soldiers from the United States. In foreign policy, Nixon sought to bring US relations closer to the communist world and made historic state visits to Beijing and Moscow in 1972. In domestic politics, he had to contend with economic problems. He was actively involved in anti-cancer activities and environmental protection. Nixon supported basic income for families with children and lowered the voting age to 18. Nixon was elected by an overwhelming majority for a second term in the 1972 presidential election, but he immediately became involved in the Watergate scandal, which eventually led to his resignation.

You are an archaeologist who uncovers a new site of early human activity. Currently, there is evidence of humans living in this

Answer:

It means that humans lived in that area longer than expected, approximately 28,650 years ago.

Explanation:

Ok, this coud be tricky especially taking in count that Radiocarbon dating has other variables that archaeologist take into account so this answer should be taked as an approximation.

Radiocarbon dating measures the amount of carbon-14 (an isotope) in organic objects like bones, plants, wood, charcoal etc...

This is possible because the atmosphere is constantly producing carbon. While a human, animal or tree/plant is alive its amount of carbon is the same as that of the atmosphere. When they die, their amount of carbon kind of "freezes", because it doesnt renew.

Carbon-14 has a peculiarity, every 5730 years its amount in organic objects is cut in half (50%), so for example if the amount of carbon-14 in a dog is 5000 the day it dies, and today the amount found in his skull/bones is 2500, it means that this dog died 5730 years ago.

So for the question:

If a current skull contains a carbon 14 count of 10,000 and the fossil found in the archeological site contains 312.5 we candapproximately find how long ago this human died:

We start by halving 10,000 till we reach the amount found in the skull which is 312.5

$\frac{10,000}{2} = 5,000$
