Answer:

4- Option (A)

5- Hiker B

6- Option (C)

Explanation:

In order to determine the difference in the elevation for a hiker, the final elevation and the initial elevation must be subtracted. This can be simply written as:

Difference in elevation= (Final elevation - Initial elevation) for the hiker

= (264-180) m

= 84 meters.

From the map, it can be easily identified that hiker B had the steepest elevation.

In a topographic map, the elevations are often represented in the form of contour lines. These contour lines are usually found to be either closely spaced or widely spaced. The closed contours represent the steeper slope and the widely spaced contours represent the gentle slopes.

Deoxyribose Glucose Guanine Phosphate Ribose

Sergeu [11.5K]

There is no attached table, so it could not be told precisely which of the four molecules is the DNA. But, it is known that DNA consists of deoxyribose, guanine, and phosphate.
The base unit of DNA is called a nucleotide. The nucleotide consists of a nucleobase (adenine - A, thymine - T, cytosine - C, and guanine -G), a monosaccharide deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. By knowing this, it is easy to choose which molecule of those is the DNA.

Differentiate among a swamp and a marsh. Explain how they are similar and how

trapecia [35]

The difference between the two is that swamps usually have deeper standing water and are wet for longer periods of the year, according to the National Parks Service. Marshes have rich, waterlogged soils that support plant life, according to National Geographic.

Answer:

1. Radiometric dating

2. Relative dating is used to determine the age of fossils or rock layers by by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.

3. The youngest rock layers are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom, which is according to the law of superposition.

4. Tribolite and Pecten fossils

Fossils are used to determine the ages of rock layers. Index fossils are the most useful in determining relative aging. Index fossils are of organisms that lived for a short period of time. An index fossil allows a scientist to determine the age of the rock it is in. So if they are found in a particular age, it means they belong in that age.

5. Scientists commonly use radioactive dating methods by using radioactive decay cloak of certain elements such as potassium or carbon to date fossils or rocks.

6. Law of superposition because in terms of finding the age of the rock as an object, all that needs to be identified are the layers of the rock.

7. The nuclear decay of radioactive elements are a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion which makes it a useful tool for determining the exact age of fossils or rocks.

What happens to temperature and pressure when altitude increases?

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Thus the air temperature is highest near the surface and decreases as altitude increases. ... Therefore, air pressure decreases as we increase altitude. The air density depends on both the temperature and the pressure through the equation of state and also decreases with increasing altitude.
