The oxygen isotopic composition of ocean water is measured by determining the ratio of 18O to 16O, expressed as 18O/16O. The iso

tope 16O preferentially evaporates into the atmosphere. During periods of global cooling, the 18O/16O ratio will:

Answer:

The ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio will decrease.

Explanation:

The  ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio changes as a result of temperature. When the climate is warm, the ¹⁶O evaporates first for being lighter than ¹⁸O. When the climate is cold, the ¹⁸O precipitates first for being heavier than ¹⁶O. Thus the cold regions are rich in ¹⁶O (have little ¹⁸O) and the tropics regions are rich in ¹⁸O (have little ¹⁶O). Hence, the ratio ¹⁸O/¹⁶O is high in warm areas (for the evaporation of  ¹⁶O) and lower in cold areas (for the precipitation of ¹⁸O).

Therefore, during periods of global cooling, the ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio will decrease.                    

I hope it helps you!

A tall tree has more chances to break during the strom why?​
S_A_V [24]

Explanation:

Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.

The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Explanation:

The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal

axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.

When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.

From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Why is figure 5 an unhelpful visualization tool for this data set? <br><br> Please help!
Paraphin [41]

Explanation:

Because the temperature and the radiation are not correlated, they're not represented as functions of each other, they're represented as independent variables thus using graph 5 you cannot figure out how one affect another

Laskar, J.: 1990, The chaotic motion of the solar system. A numerical estimate of the size of the chaotic zones, Icarus, 88, 266
balandron [24]

The chaotic nature of the Solar System excluding Pluto was established by the numerical computation of the maximum Lyapunov exponent of its secular system over 200 myr.

<h3>What is chaotic motion of the solar system ?</h3>

There has been an increase in awareness of chaotic dynamics in the solar system over the past 20 years. The orbits of tiny objects in the solar system, such as asteroids, comets, and interplanetary dust, are now known to be chaotic and to experience significant variations across geological time periods.

  • a completely unpredictable orbit, or one where significant changes in the orbit can result from even small changes in the position and/or velocity of the orbiting entity.
