Answer:

c. are too old (predate sedimentary deposition)

Explanation:

Radiometric dates calculated from minerals in sedimentary rocks produce ages that are too old and often predates the sedimentary deposition.

Radiometric dating involves the uses of radioactive elements in rocks to measure the absolute age of rock.

It involves comparing the daughter to parent ratio because the decay started when the minerals formed in a rock in a period of crystallization or metamorphic event.

  • Sedimentary rocks are often made up of re-worked minerals.
  • They are derived from pre-existing igneous and metamorphic rocks.
  • When radioactive minerals from these sources finds their way into sediments, they give the age of their parent rock and not that of the sedimentary rock because their activity is not being reset.

True or False: Members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the colonists survive.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

True, members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the colonists survive.

Explanation:

When the colonists first arrived in what is now Massachusets, they didn't really know what they're facing and were simply not aware of the conditions in the area and how to survive long term. This was a big problem because the reason why they moved there was because of searching for new opportunities and by not surviving this wouldn't have happened, while the government had its goal on long term settlements through which it will increase its influence in the region.

The reason why the colonists, referred to as Pilgrims, survived were the members of the native Americans, namely the Wampanoag. The Wampanoag were friendly and they explained to the colonists what they can expect climate-wise, thought them about the characteristics of the land, introduced them to local crops and how to grow them so that they can feed themselves. This led to good and friendly relations between the two groups and the colonists survived and managed to remain in the area.

Read the following quote from The Nature Conservancy, “The 3 billion people who live in poverty around the world will be hardest
enyata [817]

Answer:

The poor people

Explanation:

The poor people always the ones that suffer the most when there are negative changes. They are not financially capable to avoid the problems that come upon them, and plus they are overly dependent on the nature for their survival. These people can not afford or do not have healthcare that is eligible, so if there is a pandemic they will be the first ones affected, and by far the most affected. They depend mostly on agriculture for their survival, and it is agriculture in more primitive manner, which is the one that suffers the most from the climate changes and the natural disasters. If the crops fail dramatically only one year, it will have huge effects, if that happens several years in a row, it can be one of the biggest, if not the biggest humanitarian crises in the world.

Europeans used the Mississippi and the Amazon rivers to meet their business
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The Europeans, apart from doing their business through the Mississippi and Amazon, brought diseases to the native populations.

Explanation:

When the Europeans started to explore the Americas, they were trying their best to establish the best possible foundations for business and to make a big profit from it. This led to using everything that was at disposal, and the large rivers, like the Mississippi and Amazon, were excellent for easy travel and transportation over long distances. While these rivers served the Europeans very well, it brought tragedy to the natives.

Not always the Europeans were agressive to the native populations, but actually, more often than not they tried to establish good relations with them because in that manner they were able to have greater benefit. Unfortunately, through the interaction, the Europeans transmitted multiple diseases to the natives for which they did not have immune system capable of coping with them. This led to mass dying out of native populations. Both continents were heavily affected by this, and while often forgotten, the Amazon basin, with the new discoveries and what has been written in the exploration books by the Europeans, might have had several million-strong populations, which dissapeared in only a few decades.
