Answer:

causes surface currents to move in circular paths  

Explanation:

Coriolis force is a pseudo force that acts on an object which is in motion in a rotating frame of reference. The Coriolis effect causes the winds to move in circular path due to rotation of Earth. In Northern hemisphere, the surface currents rotate counterclockwise and in southern hemisphere, the currents rotate clockwise.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. if the age of an object older than 50,000 years cannot be determined by radiocarbon da
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass.  Therefore, it  would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>
  • <em><u>A period of 50,000 years, is equivalent to; </u></em>

<em><u>  50,000÷5,730 </u></em>

<em><u>= 8.73 half lives</u></em>

<em>Which is approximately equal to 9 half lives.</em>

  • Therefore, if the age of an object older than 50,000 years cannot be determined by radiocarbon dating, then <em><u>Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives</u></em>.

If the new moon happens on January 15th, what shape will it be on February 6th?
Jobisdone [24]

-- From January 15 to February 6 is a period of 22 days.

-- The period of the full cycle of moon phases is 29.53 days.

-- So those dates represent (22/29.53) = 74.5% of a full cycle of phases.

-- That's almost exactly 3/4 of a full cycle, so on February 6, the moon would be almost exactly at <em>Third Quarter</em>.  That's the <em>left half of a disk </em>(viewed from the northern hemisphere).

How frequently do most coastal areas experience high tides?
Alex777 [14]

It doesn't matter where you are.  "Tides" happen twice (hi - lo - hi - lo) in about 24 hours and 50 minutes.  Anywhere.

If it doesn't do two complete cycles in 24 hours 50 minutes, then it's not tide.
