How did scientists determine the age of the ocean floor

the layers of rocks, the ancient treasures that are at the bottom of the sea, how old the coral is. But I don't think they determined how old it is, how would the dinosaurs that lived in water swim or any drink water. I don't know if this helps but hopefully it does. Also scientist have made advanced tech that could help with the age determination of the ocean floor.

Scientists can determine the age of the seafloor thanks to the changing magnetic field of our planet. Every once in a while the currents in the liquid core, which create the Earth's magnetic field, reverse themselves: This is called a geomagnetic reversal.

hope this helps!

A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.40 m and is filled with helium. Part A How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the sk

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The mass of the cargo is $M = 188.43 \ kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the spherical balloon is $r = 7.40 \ m$

The mass of the balloon is $m = 990\ kg$

The volume of the spherical balloon is mathematically represented as

$V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3$

substituting values

$V = \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 *(7.40)^3$

$V = 1697.6 \ m^3$

The total mass the balloon can lift is mathematically represented as

$m = V (\rho_h - \rho_a)$

where $\rho_h$ is the density of helium with a value of

$\rho_h = 0.179 \ kg /m^3$

and $\rho_a$ is the density of air with a value of

$\rho_ a = 1.29 \ kg / m^3$

substituting values

$m = 1697.6 ( 1.29 - 0.179)$

$m = 1886.0 \ kg$

Now the mass of the cargo is mathematically evaluated as

$M = 1886.0 - 1697.6$

$M = 188.43 \ kg$

The time for a sound wave to travel between two people is 0.80 s,

sasho [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the below formula

Speed of sound = ( distance between observers) *2/(total time taken)

Now putt the given values ,

time taken = 0.80 sec

distance = 256 m

hence

V of sound= 256*2/0.80

V of sound = 640 m/sec
