Compare 4:10 and 12:20 using fractions. Which ratio is smaller? How do you know?
djverab [1.8K]
The given information is expressed in ratio. However, a ratio is basically a fraction. So, 4:10 is just equal to 4/10 or 2/5 in simplified terms. Similarly, 12:20 is just equal to 12/20 or 6/5 in simplified terms. The smaller ratio is 2/5 because the numerator is less than the denominator. So, it follows that the answer is less than 1. The other ratio has a much greater numerator. So, we would expect that that would be greater than 1.

Excessive fertilizer use on farm land can increase nitrogen and phosphorus levels in water from runoff and decrease dissolved ox
garri49 [273]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Eutrophication is a natural phenomena, in this the fertilizers which are rich in concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus due to the effect of surface runoff get deposited in the nearby water body such as river, lake, pond and others.  These fertilizers facilitate the growth of aquatic plants in the water body. The excess growth of plants reduces the oxygen content of the water body, which results in decline in the population of aquatic animals and foul smell in water.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continenal drift ?
Levart [38]

<u>Answer:</u>


<u>The Continental drift</u> is the displacement of continental masses relative to each other. This hypothesis was developed in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, who affirmed <u>that thousands of years ago there was a single and unique supercontinent, called </u><u>Pangea</u><u>, which later became separated. </u>

His formulations were based mainly on the way in which the forms of the continents seem to fit on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, such as Africa and South America. He also took into account the distribution of certain fossils that coincided in continents far from each other.

<h2>At first this approach was discarded by most of his colleagues, because <u>his theory lacked a logical and geological explanation for its epoch. </u></h2><h2></h2>

He proposed that the continents move on another denser layer of the Earth that made up the ocean floor. But it was not until the 1960s, with the development of the theory of tectonic plates, that the movement of the continents could be adequately explained.
