What makes astronomers think that impact rates for the Moon must have been higher earlier than 3.8 billion years ago?

Physics
1 answer:
dexar [7]3 years ago
3 0

There is strong evidence indicating that 3.8 billion years ago there was a higher impact rate. This deduction starts from comparing the number of craters in the lunar highlands with those of the Mary. If this comparison is made, it will be observed that there are 10 times more craters in the highlands than in a similar area of Mary. It should be borne in mind that through radioactive dating processes the samples indicate that there is a slightly greater antiquity in the highlands than those of Maria. This allows us to deduce that if the impact rates had been constant, the highlands would have been 10 times older. They would have to be formed 38 billion years ago, long before the universe itself began.

Therefore one of the most obvious reasons is there are ten times more craters on the older highlands than the Younger Maria.

Positive ions have blank protons than electrons
grandymaker [24]
Postitive ions have more protons than electrons, because protons are positively charged. Electrons have a negative charge, so if there were less protons than electrons the job would be negative. If there were the same amount of both, then the positive and negative charges balance each other out, making a neutral charge.

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.

7. Why does increasing the mass of an egg increase the chance that it will be damaged in a drop?​
12345 [234]
Because if you increase the surface area of such a fragile object there is more space and in turn more of a chance for the object (in this case the egg) to be damaged.

The net electric charge of an amber rod which has been rubbed with fur is called negative Group of answer choices because amber
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The right option is option E. None of the answer choices given are totally correct.

Explanation:

All insulators normally have an equal amount of positive and negative charges distributed on their surface.

The amber rod (an insulator) is called negative because after the coming together with fur (another insulator), the amber rod rubs off electrons from the fur onto itself and has an overall more negatively charged particles than positively charged particles on its surface.

The fur in turn becomes positive because it has more positive charges than negative on its surface.

So, the convention allows the now rubbed off amber rod to be called negative.

So, it is evident that none of the answer choices are totally correct, the right answer is more of a mix of some of the answer choices and more!

Hope this helps!!

How is the Earth's magnetic field like a bar magnet's magnetic field?
valina [46]
In the outer layers  of earths atmosphere gases are in ionized state primarily on  account of cosmic rays . as earth rotates , strong electric current are set up due to movement of ions . these currents form earth magnetic field . and thus two equal and opposite poles of earth formed
