Answer:

Continents move because of tectonic plates.

Explanation:

A German man, named Alfred Wegener, in 1915, noticed that continents like South America could fit perfectly into Africa. So, he made a theory called "Continental Drift", which was a theory that once, all of the continents were all connected. He also believed that over time, they moved based off of the inner earth. This sparked other scientists to make a better, more updated version of Wegener's theory called "Theory of Plate Tectonics" which explains that landmasses move based off of plate tectonics. Hope this helps you!

If the half life for strontium-90 is approximately 28 years, then what is the whole life for strontium-90?
sveta [45]
Set this up as

10 = 40 (1/2)t/28

and solve for t in years.

10/40 = (1/2)t/28

log(0.25) = (t/28) log(0.5)

t = 28 log(0.25) / log(0.5) years = 56 years

Test the answer:

56 years = 2(28 years) = 2 half-lives, so the remaining amount should be 1/2 of 1/2 of the initial amount, i.e. 1/4 of the initial amount, and 10 mg = 1/4 of 40 mg.

Normal fault

Explanation:

Tensional stress occurs as a result of forces which could be wind, water etc pulling the rocks apart and forming faults. Faults are also known as a type of fracture which occurs between rocks.

Tensional stress along a fault can result in a dropped hanging-wall block relative to the footwall side(in a perpendicular position) thereby producing a normal fault.
