Answer:

The correct answer is: isotopes.

Explanation:

<u>PET scan (positron emission energy) is an imaging technique that is used to help in the diagnosis of a disease by observing metabolic processes in the body.</u>

PET scans, although very expensive, are of great utility in the fields of Oncology, Neurology and Cardiology.

<u>Isotopes are atoms that share the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons. This gives the isotopes different properties than regular atoms.</u> In PET, isotopes are radiotracers used to discern the biologic pathway of any compound.

What must happen to the agent of erosion (wind or water) in order for deposition to occur?
Gnoma [55]

I am pretty sure that it is D

With decomposition, the final deposition of particles(sediments) usually occurs at the mouth of a stream. Then a process called horizontal sorting occurs where the sediments that were once carried down are arranged from big to small. Decomposition in streams takes time so the speed of the water and wind should not affect it nor should gravity or the direction. Streams cannot change direction either unless human involement occurs

Hope this helps :)
