What's the origin of the phrase '<em>The Big Apple</em>'? ... He reports hearing the phrase used by stable lads while on a visit to New Orleans in 1920, although there's nothing in that report to link the phrase to New York.

"<em>Big Apple</em>" is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due in part to a promotional campaign by the New York tourist authorities.

Answer:

a. True.

b. False.

c. True.

d. True.

Explanation:

A landform refers to a geomorphic or natural feature of the Earth's surface, which typically makes its terrain. Some examples of landforms on planet earth are mountain, plains, volcanoes, valley, hills and plateau.

Basically, the tectonic plates such as the oceanic and continental lithosphere interact in three (3) ways and these are; divergent, transform and convergent boundaries.

a. Plates shift the continents around as they move, so Earth's surface is constantly changing.

b. False: the contacts between plates are called passive margins. A passive margin is a region where continents have rifted apart and are then separated by a body of water such as an ocean.

c. True: plates may consist of both ocean floor and continental crust, but never just oceanic or continental crust.

d. True: there are 120 major tectonic plates.

A radioactive element has a half-life of 1,000 years. If a sample of this element begins with a mass of 20 grams, how long would
Fynjy0 [20]

A radioactive element with a half-life of 1,000 years, and starting mass of 20 grams, will need 2,000 years to decrease to 5 grams.

Explanation:

The radioactive elements all have a specific half-life. Each element's half-life is well known, and they are used by scientists of numerous fields as they are excellent for determining the age of a particular item, be it or organic or non-organic nature. In this case, we have a radioactive element with a half-life of 1,000 years, and starting mass of 20 grams.

The half-life basically means that half of the mass of an element is lost during a particular period of time. For the element in question we need to find out how much time will be needed for it to decrease to 5 grams. In order to get to the result, we just need to add 1,000 years on every decrease of half of the mass:

20/2 = 10

10/2 = 5

So in 1,000 years, the element in question will decrease to 10 grams, and in further 1,000 years (2,000 cumulatively) it will decrease to 5 grams.

Map A on this webpage shows a land use model for the railroad age. Explain how this model is similar to the Von Thunen model, an
Lelechka [254]
The Von Thunen model has an epicenter which is the center of a settlement. The model shown has a center area and grows outward just like the Von Thunen model. All the important goods are closer together while the forest and non important goods are farther outward. The new map makes the assumptions of goods are carried out by railroads and the climate and soil quality are the same throughout the map but may vary depending on specific areas very much like the Von Thunen Model. 

Hope this helps. I'm on this question too so I could be wrong but at least I tried.
