Alfred Wegener

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener in 1912, proposed the theory of continental drift from his careful studies of different land masses. From his observations, he suggested the following:

  • Some fossils of tropical plants were found in polar and temperate regions.
  • Fossils of mesosaurus were found in South America and South Africa now separated by the Atlantic ocean.
  • He fitted the continents into a giant land mass puzzles.
  • Coal beds in Europe were similar to those in United States.
  • Mountain chains in the edge of West Africa was similar to that of Eastern part of South America.

His theory lacked a mechanism which facilitated the plate movement.

What would the percentage of thorium-232 (parent compound) be in a rock that was dated 1.4 billion years?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

93.33%

Explanation:

Thorium is a radioactive element with a molecular weight of 232g/mol. Thorium is very stable and can have 14.05 billion years of half-life period. Every half-life passed, the parent compound mass will be decayed by half. If the age of the rock is 1.4 billion years, then the amount of the parent compound will be:r = ½^(time elapsed/half-life)

r = ½^(1.4bil years/14.05 bil years)

r = ½^(0.0996)= 0.9333

r= 93.33%

The rock will have 93.33% of the parent compound and 6.67% of the decayed compound.
