Answer:

time taken for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is 168 million years

Explanation:

radioactive isotope of Phlebotinum decays into Dilithium.

time taken to half life takes = 42 million years

half life means that the Phlebotinum is 50% and  Dilithium is also 50%

and now it is given that  Phlebotinum is 25% and Dilithium is 75%

hence this condition will come after two half lives.

for one half life it takes  42 million years

and for second half life time becomes 4 times of first half life

time for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is  = 4 × 42

     =  168 million years.

hence time taken for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is 168 million years

How does the vegetation surface affect the amount of runoff, and why?
Tcecarenko [31]
Vegetation catches precipitation on its leaves, slowing it down or holding it for a while. This gives the ground more time to absorb the water, so there's less runoff.
