Why are rocks from space used to verify Earth's age?

History
1 answer:
jonny [76]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

 

These atoms will decay as the rock ages, and by measuring the ratio of radioactive isotopes within the rock, scientists can figure out how long it has been around. In 1913, geologist Arthur Holmes published “the Age of the Earth,” the first major effort to date the planet using radiometric dating.

Which accomplishment of thomas jefferson is shown on the map as unorganazied territory
Lena [83]

Answer:

<h2>The Louisiana Purchase </h2>

<em>[You didn't show the map, but that's the probable answer.] </em>

Explanation:

President Thomas Jefferson commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida. When they went to France to negotiate, Monroe and Livingston found that Napoleon was ready to sell a much wider range of territory to the United States, to finance his European wars.  Napoleon was asking $22 million for the whole territory that became the Louisiana Purchase.  The US team negotiated the price down to $15 million.  

Then there was a constitutional crisis back home:  Did the President have the authority under the constitution to make such a major addition to the nation's territory and spend the nation's funds to do so?   Jefferson himself initially thought a constitutional amendment might be necessary to authorize such a large action. Ultimately, Jefferson simply sought approval of the purchase from Congress.  He used this analogy to describe what his administration was doing on behalf of the country:  "“It is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; and saying to him when of age, I did this for your good."

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The answer is B) Discontentment after years of monarchist rule.

Explanation: The Communist Manifest was written as a political ideology to address the needs of the working class in Germany where rapid industrialization and had led to social inequalities. Russia also had social inequalities that were spurred on by industrialization but also by years of czarist rule with little accountability. The Russian Revolution was in part to overthrow the Romanov dynasty and create social reforms for the lower class. Serfdom had been abolished in 1861 although it did not alleviate many of the problems for former serfs.
