Since 1840 we have been accurately enough to tell how the magnetic feild works, every 300,000 years it flips that hasn't occurred for 800,000 years though, hope this helps.<span />

Explanation:

The strength of the magnetic field was first measured in 1835 by Carl Friedrich Gauss and has been measured numerous times since then, showing a relative decay of 10% in the last 150 years. Currently, satellites use magnetometers to probe the three-dimensional structure of the Earth's magnetic field.

The correct answer is letter A. 6 millimeters. <span>If an object 18 millimeters high is placed 12 millimeters from a diverging lens and the image is formed 4 millimeters in front of the lens, the height of the image is 6 millimeters.
</span>
Solution:
18 / x = 12 / 4
12x = 72
x = 6mm

Stells [14]

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

horizontal distance 11.98 m

Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2

Assuming initial velocity is zero

we know that

$h = \frac{gt^2}{2}$

solving for t

we have

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

substituing all value for time t

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 11.98}{9.8}}$

t = 1.56 s

we know that speed is given as

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

$v =\frac{11.98}{1.56}$

v = 7.67 m/s

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Wedging Freeze is generated by repeated freezing. Freeze wedging occurs, whenever the water is turned into ice as a result of the 9 percent expansion. When it freezes, cracks full of water are forced to separate further. and other options are incorrect, that can be described as follows:

In option A, It is a state where the element converts into a liquid, that's why it is not correct.
In option B, It is a reaction in which the bonds of water is divided into particular substance, that's why it is not correct.
In option D, It is a form of mechanical or physical rock weathering, that's it is not correct.
