Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago

There are 2 regions that are considered as the place where comets originated, these are the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. There are 2 types of comets that travel in our solar system, the short period and has a short orbit (few hundred years) is come from the region of Kuiper Belt and the longer period comets and longer orbit (thousands of years) come from Oort Cloud. But this 2 differs in the distance and location. The Kuiper Belt orbits are near with the pluto's orbit. Meaning it has an orbit which is approximately the same as the planets. The Oort Cloud region is the possible icy cloud that refers above. It is a shell which surrounds the solar system.

New continental crust is nicknamed _________ crust.
Nookie1986 [14]
<span>The continental crust is the layer of granitic, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks which form the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores,known as continental shelves. It is less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus "floats" on top of it.

B. What ultimately fuels the water cycle? (4 points)
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The sun

Explanation:

The sun drives the water cycle. The sun evaporates water from the oceans, seas, lakes and other bodies of water and also from plants through the process of transpiration. The evaporated water then forms into clouds and when it gains enough mass it falls back to Earth. This is a closed system so that means that this is the same amount of water that has always been present on Earth.

If you compress geologic time into a single year, how much time has elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 3.6 seconds

Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet  was formed 4.6 billion years ago.  

Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.

If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,

528 years = 528 X  \frac{1X365daysX24hoursX60minutesX60seconds}{4600000000}

=3.6 seconds

<em>(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)</em>

<em />

<em>So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World</em>

<em />
