Answer:

Greenhouse effect

Explanation:

The Paleozoic era is followed by the Mesozoic era. The Mesozoic era consists of three periods Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous.

During the cretaceous period the temperature of earth was 10 to 15 °C warmer than it is today. This warmth was caused due to the increase in volcanic activity of Earth. As the tectonic plates were moving this created mantle from the Earth's core rose to the surface causing increased volcanic activity. This volcanic activity increased the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere thus creating the greenhouse effect.

The Paleozoic era spanned from the Cambrian to the Permian and ended with a mass extinction at the end of the Permian. Geologists are still unsure of the cause but the theories include a meteorite impact or a massive volcanic event in Siberia or a combination of both. This could be a possible cause of the melting of the late Paleozoic ice sheets.

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.350 kg

spring stretches x = 12 cm = 0.12 m

to find out

period of oscillations

solution

we know here that force

force = k × x   .........1

so force = mg =  0.35 (9.8)  = 3.43 N

3.43 = k × 0.12

k = 28.58 N/m

so period of oscillations is

period of oscillations = 2π × \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }   ................2

put here value

period of oscillations = 2π × \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58} }  

period of oscillations = 0.6953

so period of oscillations is 0.695 second
