Answer:
In order to determine the rate at which the sediment layers were deposited
Explanation:
Iridium is an important element that belongs to the Platinum group and they are dominantly present in the asteroids and comets. They are the key evidence that suggests the occurrence of an asteroidal impact or a mass extinction event that has taken place in the geological past.
The presence of Iridium mixed with the clay sediments in the boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary (K-T boundary) suggested the mass extinction event that wiped out numerous life forms from the earth.
The famous scientist Dr. Luis Walter Alvarez suggested measuring the concentration of Iridium in this K-T boundary in order to determine the rate at which these sediment layers were deposited. They were able to determine that these Iridium elements were present due to the asteroid impact on earth, that wiped out the dinosaurs from the earth. They also considered that this element can be produced from the eruptions of volcanoes.
Answer:
A. consumed; consumed
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
<span>The atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It seals the planet and protects us from the vacuum of space. It protects us from electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun and small objects flying through space such as meteoroids.</span><span>
So it's like a blanket protecting us but it has air hole/patches where sunlight can get through</span>
Explanation:
⁶⁵₃₀Ca → ⁶⁵₂₉Sc + ⁿₓH
The reaction above is nuclear reaction.
In a nuclear reaction, the mass number and atomic number must be conserved.
The mass number is the superscript before the atom
Atomic number is the subscript before the atom
Conserving mass number:
65 = 65 + n
n = 0
conserving atomic number:
30 = 29 + x
x = 1
The unknown atom is a positron i.e a positively charged electron: ⁰₁e
⁶⁵₃₀Ca → ⁶⁵₂₉Sc + ⁰₁e
