how can scientists accurately compare atmospheric composition today with atmospheric composition thousands of years ago?

Vinil7 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

They accurately compare the current atmosphere with the previous one, by assessing the amount of atmospheric gases present today, with the amount of atmospheric gases trapped in ice cores that they believe are millennial, that is, they have existed for thousands of years ago.

Explanation:

As we know, it is difficult to compare current characteristics of the planet earth with characteristics that the planet had in the past, thousands of years ago. This is because the ancient characteristics on earth are not fully available to be analyzed, since most of them have been modified over time.

To do this, scientists need to find factors that may have existed thousands of years ago and assess whether these factors have any account of the characteristics of the earth. In the case of atmospheric characteristics, it is common for scientists to compare the current atmosphere with the atmosphere of thousands of years ago, with the assessment of the amount of atmospheric gases trapped in ancient ice cores, with the amount of atmospheric gases present in the atmosphere today.

Historically, the earth’s ocean had a ph of 8.2. In recent years it dropped to 8.1. How might this affect the ocean environment
Mrac [35]
Well with the ph above 7 that means the water is more of a base due to the salt within the water.  the decrease in the ph is due to gloabal warming and the melting of ice which is somewhat diluting the water more.  the wildlife within the ocean has been there since you or i so some creatures have developed a very specific habbitat and less salt withing the water could have effects on them.  one such instace is if the organism needs a lot of salt.  a decrease in salt would mean that their cells would bloat with water until they explode. this would obviously hurt the species as a whole and in turn effect the whole food chain.

In pigs, curly tails (T) are dominant over straight tails (t). If a pig is heterozygous for a curly tail, what is the pig's geno
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The pig's genotype is Tt

Explanation:

As mentioned in the question that curly hair allele T is dominant over straight tail allele t.

A heterozygous organism is that in which both alleles for a trait are different. Since Curly hair allele T is dominant over straight tail t, it means that the pig with curly tail and heterozygous genotype will definitely have a genotype of Tt.

Hope it helps! :)

Today, jill consumes 1,600 total kilocalories. she eats 50 grams of protein. the percentage of jill's total energy intake that c
Kruka [31]
The answer is 12.5%.
Each gram of protein has four calories. Therefore, 50 grams of protein contain 200 calories. In order to find the percentage of total energy intake that comes from protein, we need to do the division: 200/1600 * 100 = 12.5. Protein is needed for body growth and maintenance and energy.
