In the last few years improvements in technology have allowed geologists to date single grains of some minerals in rocks. A geol

ogist separates 5 grains of the mineral zircon, which can be dated by the Uranium-lead method, and the crystal retains parent and daughter through weathering, erosion, and deposition. Thus, dating each mineral grain only gives the age of the source rock that was eroded, to produce that sand, from which the zircon grain is derived. The 5 grains yield ages of 160, 110, 2020, 66, and 162 million years. What do these ages tell you about the age of the sedimentary strata

If the duration of life on Earth was on a scale of 20,000 days, for how many of those days would the human species be present?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

If the duration of life on Earth was on a scale of 20,000 days, the human species would be present in the Earth for approximately 9 days.

Explanation:

We can't be sure about the exactly age of the Earth, but we can base our calculus in a number between 4400 and 4600 million years, because the most accepted researches shows numbers in this span of time. We can take the average of those limits: 4500 million years.

On another hand the presence in the Earth of human species has not a precise date because of the it does not have a precise date for two main reasons, the scientific evidence does not include all the human species that existed on Earth but it is a very incomplete evidence and besides being an evolutionary phenomenon it is not easy to determine from what moment We can consider that a species belongs to the human race or not. In any case, we take the approximate date of the scientific evidence of the existence of human species in an age of 2 million years.

With both numbers we can calculate the proportion in the scale of 20 thousand years throw the following formula:

PHS = 20000 years . 2 million years / 4500 million years = 8.9 years

PHS: Presence of Human Species
