Answer:

t= 3886.18 years old

Explanation:

Whenever an animal dies de C14 and N14 begin to disintegrate in such a way that the proportion between C14 and C12 decreases, with a semi-disintegration period of 5.730 years, T. To get to know how long it takes an element to disintegrate, we must use this semi-disintegration period, which is the time it takes until the amount of the element is reduced to its half.  

We can find the age of the fossil, t, by using the next formula:

t = - (T x ln (C14))/ ln (2)

t = - (5730 x ln (0.625)/0.693

t= - (-2693.12)/0.693

t= 3886.18

Peat is a mixture of partially decomposed plant and animal material found in waterlogged, acidic, anaerobic environments. people
Verizon [17]

because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel. The correct option is B.

<h3>What exactly are fossil fuels?</h3>

Fossil fuels are fuels derived from the remains of dead plants and animals that decomposed over time under intense heat and pressure.

Because their replenishment time is longer than a human lifetime, fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources.

Some examples of fossil fuels are petroleum, coal, etc.

The missing options of the question are:

  1. peat is a fossil fuel because rewetting it takes only 3-5 years.
  2. peat is a fossil fuel because the total time for restoration is lengthy.
  3. peat is not a fossil fuel because it has biologic origins, making it a biofuel.
  4. peat is not a fossil fuel because humans can promote the replenishment of peat.

The restoration process of peat takes a long time of more than 100 years. As a result, because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel.

Thus, the correct option is B.
