Question

If you were an archaeologist a thousand years from now, what object might you find left behind in the earth from our current year (2021) that would tell people in 3021 the most about how we lived as a culture? Choose one object that you think would best tell our story, explain why you chose it, and describe what people in 3021 would learn about us from observing the object. Be sure to consider objects that would survive that long; don’t choose something that wouldn’t preserve well. Type your response below; it must be at least 6-8 detailed sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

Nuclear Station (If its an object a nuclear weapon)

Explanation:

It may show people in 3021 about our weapons and this can be seen by some after effects such as thermal radiation. Unlike conventional explosions, a single nuclear explosion can generate an intense pulse of thermal radiation that can start fires and burn skin over large areas. In some cases, the fires ignited by the explosion can coalesce into a firestorm, preventing the escape of survivors.

There are other affects such as damage to the ozone layer. In addition, the ozone layer, which protects the surface of the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, would be depleted by 40% over many inhabited areas and up to 70% at the poles.
