Answer:
1000 cm.
Explanation:
To obtain the estimated tree height :
(Height of rod / length of rod shadow) = (height of tree / length of tree shadow)
Substituting values into the formula :
(150cm / 120 cm) = (height of tree / 800 cm)
Using cross multiplication :
Height of tree * 120 = 150 * 800
Height of tree = (150 * 800) / 120
Height of tree = 120,000 / 120
Height of tree = 1000
Hence, estimate height of tree = 1000 cm

Answer:
Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.
Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.
