Why doesn’t radiometric dating of basalt on the ocean floor provide us with an absolute age for the planet earth?

Geography
1 answer:
Luda [366]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Radiometric dating of basalt on the ocean floor provide us with an absolute age for the planet earth because the oceanic crust is recycled too frequently at subduction zones,

Explanation:

Radiometric dating of basalt  on the ocean floor can not provide us the absolute age of the planet earth due to the subduction. In the process of subduction oceanic plate went below the continental plate as it is less denser. It then melts there and its recycling takes place frequently. So the radiometric dating of basalt on oceanic plate can not provide us the true information regarding the age of the earth.

En los Estados Unidos y otros países con ingresos altos, el hambre es causada en su mayoría por la pobreza que genera la falta de trabajos o los bajos salarios. Las tasas de hambre aumentan cuando la economía nacional o local cae. Una vez que la gente pierde el empleo es incapaz de encontrar otro.

Which factors keep people from settling near the rocky mountains?
Sergio039 [100]
Agriculture can prove extremely difficult to maintain on a rocky mountain and with such poor infrastructure it is also difficult to import goods on a JIT (Just In Time) sort of basis where you receive these goods as you need them. Infrastructure also includes communication and other services and with such a technologically developed era we depend on technology and this can deter a lot of people from settling in these regions, additionally the wildlife in these regions consists greatly of predators which can be deemed a threat to habitants who are unprepared. The sheer abundance of wildlife and non industrial landscapes can also mean that people will not want to live in these regions
