Answer:

Correct answer is option - A

Explanation:

On earth around 68 % fresh water is found in the form of ice caps & glaciers. This is the majority of fresh water source on the earth. About 30 % is of fresh water  is found in the form of ground water. only 0.3 % water is found in the form of lakes , rivers and streams. The water found in seas in not the fresh water it is saline water.

                       Thus the major source of freshwater on the earth is ice caps & glaciers.

Analysis of a rock sample that it contains 6.25% of its original uranium-235. How old is the rock? How do you know?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The age of the rock = 2800.6 million years = 2.8 billion years.

A simple method of analysis similar to Carbon dating is used to obtain the required age of the rock. Radioactive substances decay according to first order reaction kinetics. So, plugging all the required parameters into the general equation for amount of substance left in a first order decay gives us the age of the rock.

Explanation:

Half life of Uranium-235 = 700 million years (from literature)

The decay of radioactive substances follow first order reaction kinetics.

The general equation is given as

A(t) = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

A(t) = Amount of radioactive substance left after a particular time = 6.25%

A₀ = initial amount of radioactive substance = 100%

t = time that has passed since the beginning = age of the rock = ?

k = decay constant

The decay constant is related to the half life (T) through the relation,

k = (In 2)/T

k = (0.693/700) = 0.00099 /million years

A(t) = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

6.25 = 100 e⁻ᵏᵗ

0.0625 = e⁻ᵏᵗ

In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.0625 = -2.7726

-kt = - 2.7726

t = (2.7726/0.00099) = 2800.6 million years

t = 2.8 billion years.

Hope this Helps!!!

Cloud droplets collide to form larger droplets in a process called ____.
kakasveta [241]

Cloud droplets collide to form larger droplets in a process called <u>coalescence</u>

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the drop lets of the cloud which are present in the air bang into each other, the result is the formation of a bigger drop let of the cloud and this whole process is known as coalescence.

And such big drop lets are big enough in their size which can result in the rainfall in that region. The droplet should at least reach a size of 4 mm to result into rainfall and this collision is a fast process.
