Answer:10,0000 years
Explanation:
If it takes 2000 years to weather 1cm of limestone
It will take 5*2000 years to weather 5cm of limestone. This gives us 10000 years.
Answer:
A. Mafic; iron and/or magnesium
Explanation:
Let's find the answer by naming some minerals and their chemistry.
Mafic minerals are dark-colored whereas felsic minerals are light-colored, thats way mafic rocks are dark-colored because they are mainly composed by mafic minerals and the other way around for felsic rocks.
But remember that mafic minerals as amphiboles, pyroxenes or biotites, involve in their chemical structure iron and/or magnesium. Although calcium and sodium can be incorporated in amphiboles and clinopyroxenes, they are not involved in orthopyroxenes and biotites. On the other hand, although potassium is involved in biotite and in some extent in amphiboles, this element is not involved in pyroxenes.
So in conclusion, mafic minerals are usually dark-colored because they involve iron and/or magnesium in their chemical structures.
Answer:
Because of the revolution of the moon about the earth.
Explanation:
The moon is the natural satellite of the earth; which rotates about its axes and orbits around the earth. As the moon orbits the earth with respect to time, it would complete a revolution in 27.3 days.
During revolution, different phases of the moon can be observed by someone on the earth. This is due to its location at different time during the process. Therefore, Jorge was able to see different phases of the moon because of its revolution about the earth.
