Answer:

Ganymede is the biggest and the most massive moon of the planet Jupiter. It has a metallic core. It moves in an orbital path around the planet Jupiter and orbits every 6-7 days. Half of the moon is comprised of silicate rocky materials and half of it is made up of water ice. Out of all the moons, Ganymede has the highest rock composition.

Europa is one of the moons of Jupiter. It is even smaller than the earth's natural satellite (moon). The core of this moon is made up of iron and nickel, along with some silicate materials but they are extremely in a lesser amount in comparison to the earth's core. Europa's surface is comprised of ice and water is present in a significant amount below the surface.

Y=x^2 how to solve it

anyanavicka [17]

To change the equation, you'd have to take the square root of both sides. When you do this, x^2 cancels out leaving you with x = sqrt(y)

If you need help on the other ones, all you have to do is solve for x by using either addition/subtraction or dividing/multiplying.

In what type of rock is the ratio of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes best measured?

Nana76 [90]

Answer: Igneous Rock

Explanation: Radiometric dating is used to date rocks by measuring the decay of their composite materials. Stable isotopes remain the same over time while the nucleus of an unstable or radioactive isotope will decay to form other isotopes .

Dating rocks using Isotopic methods uses the decay time of the isotope in the rock to assess its age. The accuracy of this method is assured by the fact that when these isotopes decay, they are retained in the rock. Isotopic dating is not very accurate in sedimentary rocks because they contain particles from older rocks.
