The time needed to form a soil depends on the latitude: in environments characterized by a mild climate, it takes 200-400 years to form 1 cm of soil. in wet tropical areas soil formation is faster, as it takes200 years. in order to accumulate enough substances to make a soil fertile it takes 3000 years.

Hope it helps! :-)

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which gives this number in three significant digits? 299,000,000. m/s 2.99 x

dexar [7]

Answer: $2.99(10)^{-8} m/s$

Explanation:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.

Then, the significant figures (or significant digits) will be the digits that are before the power of ten.

Now, in the case of the number 299,792,458 if we want to write it with three significant digits, we have to write it in scientific notation as:

$2.99(10)^{-8}$

which form of radioactive decay would you be most likely to detect if it were happening in the room next to the one you are curr

aleksandrvk [35]

There are no options given in respect to the question and so it is not possible to choose. I would answer this question based on my knowledge and hope it satisfies you. he form of radio active decay that would be most likely detected by you if it were happening in the room next to the one you are currently standing in is gamma.
