Answer:
D. The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
Explanation:
Have you ever noticed, when you leave water out on the counter for a long time it turns warm. The sun is not even near it also, so therefore your answer is D. MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST PLZ!
Answer:
1, if you know that a rock was deposited after the one you are attempting age then you know that the "deeper" one is older.
Explanation:
Technically speaking, depending on the sample, the rock could become “stable.”
The radioactive decay of a radioisotope is expressed as a half-life equation; half-life is the colloquial term that describes how long it will take for half of the radioisotope to decay into another isotope or element. For example (if I remember correctly), Carbon-14 has a half life of 5,780 years. This means that in a 100% sample of C-14, after 5780 years passes, only 50% of that isotope would remain; another 5780 years, and only 25% would remain (half of half). Based on this principle, it seems like a sample could never fully decay because there’s always an amount that smaller than the current amount.
However, if the sample has a very short half life (milliseconds or nanoseconds) the sample would reach nigh-full decay eventually. At this point, it is considered “stable.”
Answer:
Snow falls on a glacier and is gradually compacted into ice over many years.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because it directly related to the phenomenon of transferring water from the atmosphere to the cryosphere. The cryosphere is the frozen part of Earth that mainly represent Antarctica and the Arctic. Therefore, snow falling on the glacier and continuous compacting over the years represent the transferring of water from the atmosphere to the cryosphere.
One the other hand, A, B, and C are incorrect options. A describes a phenomenon in which atmospheric water restore groundwater storage via seepage. B represents a situation where frozen water (cryosphere) melts and form surface water (oceanic water.) C is a condition where evaporation causes drying of a river resulting in drought.
