When magma comes up to the surface along the mid-ocean ridges of the world, it displaces the newly created rock above it to eith

er side of the ridge. As this process continues over time, what age pattern does the ocean floor eventually exhibit

Answer:

The rock will be older as you move further from the ridge

Explanation:

mid ocean ridges are divergent boundaries that gradually tear apart to create new ocean floors. their main materal is basalt.

Analysis of a rock sample that it contains 6.25% of its original uranium-235. How old is the rock? How do you know?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The age of the rock = 2800.6 million years = 2.8 billion years.

A simple method of analysis similar to Carbon dating is used to obtain the required age of the rock. Radioactive substances decay according to first order reaction kinetics. So, plugging all the required parameters into the general equation for amount of substance left in a first order decay gives us the age of the rock.

Explanation:

Half life of Uranium-235 = 700 million years (from literature)

The decay of radioactive substances follow first order reaction kinetics.

The general equation is given as

A(t) = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

A(t) = Amount of radioactive substance left after a particular time = 6.25%

A₀ = initial amount of radioactive substance = 100%

t = time that has passed since the beginning = age of the rock = ?

k = decay constant

The decay constant is related to the half life (T) through the relation,

k = (In 2)/T

k = (0.693/700) = 0.00099 /million years

A(t) = A₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

6.25 = 100 e⁻ᵏᵗ

0.0625 = e⁻ᵏᵗ

In e⁻ᵏᵗ = In 0.0625 = -2.7726

-kt = - 2.7726

t = (2.7726/0.00099) = 2800.6 million years

t = 2.8 billion years.

Hope this Helps!!!

When plate tectonics cause cracks to form, ________________.
Simora [160]

The answer is B.

During plate tectonics, cracks may occur in the earth crust that causes magma to rise up from the mantle. The cracks may also cause cracks to form on the crust that makes outlet channels for the magma in magma chambers. These result in volcanic eruptions on the surface of the earth that form volcanic features such as mountains.
