Answer:

Hello, the above question is not complete, nonetheless let us check somethings out.

Explanation:

Paleothermometer definition is from two words, that is "Paleo" which means something that is old and ''thermometer" which is an instrument for measuring temperature. So, if we add this up, Paleothermometer is an instrument for measuring "old" temperature, that is temperature. One of the Paleothermometer that is been used is the δ18O which is the one in the question that has isotopic ratio of 18O/16O, and it deals with the measurement of 18O to 16O. The others include Alkenones Paleothermometer, Mg/Ca Paleothermometer, Leaf physiognomy and so on.

If the values of the isotopic ratio that is 18O/16O ratio is low, then the temperature is high. To Calculate the 18O/16O ratio for ancient ocean then we will be using the equation below;

δ18O = (z - 1) × 1000. Where z= [(18O/16O)/( 18O/16O)sm. And sm= standard mean.

The best tool to use to locate the boundaries between countries is a(n) _____.
8_murik_8 [283]

The correct answer is (b) political map

The explanation:

when a political map: is different than other types of maps because it focuses on government or administrative boundaries rather than geographical or physical features. Instead of showing viewers what exists in the land, it shows those imaginary lines that serve to separate countries, states, territories, and cities. These maps generally include larger bodies of water, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, as landmarks.

It was made by man not natural like the others maps.

so this is the correct answer.

How many milliliters of a 5.0 M H2SO4 stock solution would you need to prepare 108.0 mL of 0.45 M H2SO4?
PIT_PIT [208]
For the purpose we will use solution dilution equation:
c1xV1=c2xV2
Where, c1 - concentration of stock solution; V1 - a volume of stock solution needed to make the new solution; c2 - final concentration of new solution; V2 - final volume of new solution.
c1 = 5.00 M
c2 = 0.45 M
V1 = ?
V2 = 108 L
When we plug values into the equation, we get following:
5 x V1 = 0.45 x 108
<span>V1 = </span>9.72 L
