Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

B. In a given rock sample, the amount of Silicon-32 isotopes gets divided in half about every 170yrs.

This is the concept of half-life. Half life is the time take for half of a radioactive isotope to disintegrate. The shorter the half life the faster the isotope disintegrates.

From the question, we were told that it would take 170yrs for half of the isotope of Silicon to disintegrate to Phosphorus. This is the half life.

C. The half life can be used to determine the amount of Si-32 that has decayed from the time closure temperature was reached.

The closure temperature is very important in radioactivity. It is the temperature at which a system has cooled and there is no resulting disintegration of parent and daughter isotopes.

From first order kinetics, we know that the rate at which radioactive elements decay at any time is directly proportional to the number of radioactive atoms present. A knowledge of the half life helps to figure out the number of atoms that has decayed in time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Capital resources are the man-made tools, machines used in the production of goods. Capital resources can be an asset, tool, piece of machinery that is handled by concern over an extended period.Capital resources are goods manufactured and used to produce other goods and services.

Goods can usually be categorized as both consumer goods or capital goods. For case, when a person buys a car for personal use, the car is a consumer good. When a company buys a car to transport products, the car is considered a capital good.

Would earthquakes occur at a depth of over 700 kilometers? why or why not
neonofarm [45]

Earthquakes can occur at depths of over 700 km.

Explanation:

The earthquakes are a natural hazard which is associated with boundaries of the tectonic plates. The majority of the earthquakes occur at convergent and transforming plate boundaries. The reason as to why the earthquakes occur at these places is because of the pressure between the colliding or sliding plates, where the crust cracks and during the adjustment the force created is manifested with strong vibrations.

In general, the earthquakes occur at depths between 20 and 50 km, which is usually the depth where the plates create the most pressure upon each other. That is not to say that that is the only range where earthquakes occur, as they can occur anywhere from the surface of Earth and down to 800 km in depth. With other words, the earthquakes occur anywhere from the top of the lithosphere to the top of the astenosphere. Earthquake hot-spots are:

  • Ring of Fire
  • Mediterranean
  • northern Turkey
  • western Southwest Asia
