Answer:

B. The "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Ocean.

Explanation:

The "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Ocean is the best example of a convergent boundary where an oceanic plate and continental plate meets.

  • At such margins, subduction is the order of the day.
  • Due to the differences in the density of the plates involved, the oceanic plates goes beneath the continental plate.
  • The pacific sea floor is ocean crust and it is denser.
  • As it slides beneath the continental crust, subduction zones are created.
  • This circular geometry of the subduction zone is known as the pacific ring of fire.

The isotope silicon 32 decays into phosphorus 32. Silicon 32 has a half-life of 170 years and can be used to find the age of roc
eduard

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

B. In a given rock sample, the amount of Silicon-32 isotopes gets divided in half about every 170yrs.

This is the concept of half-life. Half life is the time take for half of a radioactive isotope to disintegrate. The shorter the half life the faster the isotope disintegrates.

From the question, we were told that it would take 170yrs for half of the isotope of Silicon to disintegrate to Phosphorus. This is the half life.

C. The half life can be used to determine the amount of Si-32 that has decayed from the time closure temperature was reached.

The closure temperature is very important in radioactivity. It is the temperature at which a system has cooled and there is no resulting disintegration of parent and daughter isotopes.

From first order kinetics, we know that the rate at which radioactive elements decay at any time is directly proportional to the number of radioactive atoms present. A knowledge of the half life helps to figure out the number of atoms that has decayed in time.

What feature of south asia's climate has the most significant effect on the region explain?
enyata [817]

Explanation:

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change noted that Asia's large population, the frequency of natural disasters in the region, and a sometimes chaotic process of urbanisation, with population relocation to coastal cities, as some of the factors that make Asia especially vulnerable to the risk of climate change.

I think that's wrong but I tried to help tho :)
