The geological time scale divides the history of Earth into blocks of time known as eras, epochs, periods, and eons. We are curr

ently living in the Holocene epoch, a period that began after the last major ice age, but some scientists believe we have entered a new epoch. The Anthropocene is a proposed epoch that would begin when human activity first started to significantly affect Earth. Supporters of this proposed epoch argue that human activity has caused large changes to the geology and diversity of organisms of Earth, so this period should be documented in the geological time scale. What do you think? Should human activity should be documented on the geological scale? Why or why not? If the human population were not the size it was today, how would Earth be different? Consider all four spheres—geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere—in your answer.

Yes, humans have done more damage to the earth than any natural catastrophe. Civilization have ended. The earth has the ability to renew itself time and time again by it's own natural 4 powers. Do we?

I think the period of human presence on the Earth should not be documented on the geological time scale. Although humans have caused an enormous change in the Earth, this has actually been done over an extremely short period of time. Modern humans appeared roughly 0.8-0.3 million years ago. Civilization appeared roughly 5,000 years ago. However, significant damage and alteration to the geology and the diversity of organisms has only happened in the last few centuries.

If human population were not the size that it is today, the differences would be massive. Agriculture and animal husbandry would be practiced in a much smaller scale. This would allow many ecosystems to remain intact. Moreover, the pollution and garbage that we create would be reduced. Finally, with a reduction in population, living standards tend to rise, as well as education. More educated people would probably mean more environmentally conscious individuals.

If a piece of metal were to cut in half would the density change
nadezda [96]
Density depends on both the mass and the volume of an object. If you cut a bar of gold in half, you would have two bars with half the mass of the original bar. However, each bar would also have half the volume of the original bar. The density of gold does not change.

The high surface tension helps the paper clip - with much higher density - float on the water. The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.

Basically it means that there is a sort of skin on the surface of water where the water molecules hold on tight together. If the conditions are right, they can hold tight enough to support your paper clip. The paperclip is not truly floating, it is being held up by the surface tension.

Calculate the percent activity of the radioactive isotope strontium-89 remaining after 5 half-lives.
maria [59]
The answer to this question would be: 3.125%

Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its mass. In this case, the strontium-89 is already gone past 5 half lives. Then, the percentage of the mass left after 5 half-lives should be:
100%*(1/2^5)= 100%/32=3..125%
