<u>Answer:</u>

Total 7.37 half lives have been estimated to pass since the time pottery was made, 42250 years ago.

The carbon-14 is a radioactive form of carbon which is helpful in computing the age of ancient materials. Carbon-14 decays to half of its content in 5730 years.

This is called half life of radioactive carbon which is 5730 years. The number of half lives is same as the remainder obtained by the division of age of pottery and half life of carbon.

The builder of a house on a cliff overlooking the ocean should be concerned about what
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Erosion

Explanation:

Building a house on a cliff is a very trick thing. The cliffs usually are not composed of hard rocks, but instead are usually composed of sedimentary rocks which are much softer and less stable on the long run. The cliffs are also exposed to heavy erosion, in the lower parts because of the waves, in the higher parts because of the winds. The erosion makes the cliffs slowly fall apart, and occasionally even crumble down, so a builder that would build a house on a cliff should be wary of all these things and construct the house where it is the safest for the long run.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The European settlement in the Americas from 1500 to 1790 was most often voluntary migration.

Interregional migration; is not correct because the migration was going only in one direction, but in several regions from multiple regions.

In regions where the sun's rays hit at an angle, solar energy is----and climate is----
dem82 [27]

In regions where the sun's rays hit at an angle, solar energy is less than the region which is exposed to direct sun rays and the climate is cold.

  • here the slanting sun rays fall on the frigid zone.
  • the  frigid zone receives slanting ray due to The higher the latitude, the less is the angle that the sun's rays make with the surface of the earth. Hence , the polar regions ( frigid zone ) receive slanting rays of the Sun.
  • on the other hand The Tropical zone gets vertical rays of the sun, while temperate and polar zones receive slanting rays of the sun.
  • North and South poles get more slanted sun rays. The axis of the earth is not straight, it is tilted in the angle of approximately 23.5°.
  • The more slanted the sun's rays are, the longer they travel through the atmosphere, becoming more scattered and diffuse and due to low heating the region becomes cold .

15. A pluton is a A. channel way for rising magma B. intrusion of magma into fractions C. man-made rock D. large igneous rock bo
atroni [7]

Answer:

B. intrusion of magma into fractions

Explanation:

A pluton is a type of rock that is formed when magma cools and solidifies underground, they are an intrusive igneous rock (forced into other layers of rock), usually in cracks. The three main types of pluton are bysmalith (cylindrical), lopolith (mushroom-shaped), and laccolith (blister-shaped).

Because magma is under high pressure and takes a long time to cool, it allows time for the formation of large crystals. Therefore, plutonic rocks have coarse-grained crystals that come in many different colors and sizes. A good example is granite.

<em>Considering this information we can conclude that pluton is not manmade rock, they come in different sizes (not only large) so the correct answer is B. intrusion of magma into fractions. </em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
