If you compress geologic time into a single year, how much time has elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 3.6 seconds

Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet  was formed 4.6 billion years ago.  

Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.

If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,

528 years = 528 X  \frac{1X365daysX24hoursX60minutesX60seconds}{4600000000}

=3.6 seconds

<em>(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)</em>

<em />

<em>So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World</em>

3. If you see a flash of lightning and hear thunder 8 seconds later, how far is the lightning from you? 4. Why is lightning most
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

2.656 km

Explanation:

Velocity of sound in the air = 332 m/s

time t= 8 sec

distance = velocity\times time

distance= 332\times8

=2656 meters =2.656 km

therefore,  distance = 2.656 km

Florida has lightening quite often because

Florida receives a lot of heat through out the year, air close the ground is warmed and frequent sea breezes (Florida is surrounded by seas and oceans) provide the necessary lift and moisture for the formation of thunderstorms. This why lightning is common Florida

Describe how heat is transferred from the core through the mantle to the crust?
AnnyKZ [126]
<span>Conduction probably is the main method in the crust, but do not underestimate fluid convection. Every time you find a hot spring, then that is an example of fluid convection. ... Since these two are separate heat transfer from the outer core to the mantle is also mainly by conduction</span>
