Answer: Fossil data acquired by the the chemical study of oxygen isotopes ratio i.e ¹⁶O and ¹⁸O, in the shells of foraminifera, helps in indicating the palaeoclimatic condition as well as the type of food habitat.

  Foraminiferas are unicellular organisms that are comprised of a hard shell which was made of chitin (a fibrous like substance). They are very prone to frequent environmental changes.

Scientist use this organism's hard shell to study about the climatic condition during their time of existence by comparing this oxygen isotopes.

Please write a paragraph (5 sentence minimum) that describes convection in Earth's atmosphere.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Earth's crust is covered by a densed air blanket called atmosphere. Due to which we feel warm even during night when there is no sun. The air near the atmosphere is less dense compared to the air near our crust. Similarly we can experience high pressure near the atmosphere comparelatively we experience less pressure near crust. The presence of atmosphere above us makes the wind fair sometimes stromy and also helps in pteperation of wind and breezes in earth's surface.

How much heat is absorbed by 20g granite boulder as energy from the sun causes its temperature to chage from 10C to 29 c (Specif
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Q = 266 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 20g

Initial temperature = 10°C

Final temperature = 29°C

Specific heat capacity of granite = 0.1 Cal/g°C to J/g°C = 0.7J/g°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 20*0.7*(29-10)

Q = 14 * 19

Q = 266 Joules

Process by which water vapor changes to a liquid
OverLord2011 [107]

The correct answer to the question is B) Condensation.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand various phase changes.

There are various phase changes in which matter in one state is converted into matter in another state.

Evaporation: Evaporation is the thermal process of state change in which a liquid is converted into corresponding vapor state.

For instance, water to steam or vapor.

Condensation: Condensation is just the opposite process of evaporation. In this process, a substance in vapor phase is converted into liquid phase.

For instance, water vapor to liquid water.

The two processes that is Convection and radiation mentioned in the question are not phase changes. These two are different modes of heat transfer between substances.

Hence, the process by which water vapor changes to a liquid is called condensation.
