There are three types of fossil fuels: Oil, coal and gas.

Let's look into their formation one by one:

Oil: Dead plankton such as microorganisms and plants was buried under the sea million years ago, it accumulate over time to become oil, also known as petroleum,

Coal: Plants were dead and broken down by bacteria over time, carbon dioxide and methane were produced. After million years, the dead flora accumulated to become peat and undergone compaction, becoming coal.

Gas: This is formed along oil, and again produced by dead organisms. It is mostly formed during decomposition, and mostly made up of methane.

kirza4 [7]

The population decays by a factor of (1/2 )^1/4 every hour.

<h3>Exponential Function</h3>

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value of y, b is the multiplier, y and x are variables.

Let y represent the bacteria population after x hours.

A bacteria population decreases by a factor of 1/2 every 4 hours.

y=\frac{1}{2} ^\frac{x}{4}= \frac{1}{2} ^{(\frac{1}{4})x}

The population decays by a factor of (1/2 )^1/4 every hour.

4 types of plate boundaries and earth features they form
madreJ [45]
Answer:

- Divergent plate boundary, which causes volcanic activity and shallow earthquakes.

- Convergent plate boundary, which has one plate that “dives (‘subducts’) beneath the other, resulting in a variety of earthquakes and a line of volcanos on the overriding plate”

- Transform plate boundary, where plates slide laterally past one another, producing shallow earthquakes but little to no volcanic activity.

- Hotspot, “where a plate rides over a rising plume of hot mantle, creating a line of volcanoes on top of the plate.”
