KonstantinChe [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is the different ages and geologic histories of the rocks.

Explanation:

The Northern Great Lakes region has a lot of untapped potential in terms of exploratory drilling for copper, nickel and other heavy metals. Mining companies are actively seeking permits to conduct exploratory drilling on the Superior National Forest of northeast Minnesota for instance. The state of Minnesota owns the mineral rights and they have granted permits to allow more than 100,000 acres of state mineral rights. This concerns environmentalists because new mines would be in addition to the many that already exist in the area like open-pit iron-ore mines.  There is already a legacy of pollution and harm to the invaluable water quality in the area. Lake Superior contains 10 percent of the world's freshwater.

nikitadnepr [17]

The maximum amount of electricity that on-shore wind farms can produce is 200 kWh/d per person under ideal conditions i.e. covering the entire nation in wind turbines.

The following steps are taken in the energy conversion process while producing electricity from wind turbines:

First, the wind strikes the turbine blades and transfers its kinetic energy to them. A generator is attached to the turbine blades. The generator shaft is turned by the kinetic energy of the turbine blades.

The generator then produces electricity out of the kinetic energy of the blades.

Strontium-147 cut into pieces what would be the half -life of each piece?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

2.62 years

Explanation:

The half life of a material is the time taken for half of the number of radioactive atoms in a radioactive material to remain.

If a radioactive material is cut into pieces, each piece has the same half life as the whole material.

Hence, if Strontium-147 is cut into pieces, each piece will have a half life of 2.62 years, just as the whole material.

How would gravity cause planets to move if they did not have inertia
Alika [10]
A planet in motion remains in a stable orbit around the sun mainly because of two things: the nature of the gravitational force and because virtually no other forces act on the planet. The momentum of a planet changes during its orbit but not, in general, its inertia -- which relates solely to its mass.
