Answer:
D) the steady, clocklike decay of certain radioactive isotopes over time.
Explanation:
Geologists use radiometric dating to estimate how long ago rocks formed, and to infer the ages of fossils contained within those rocks.
For example, when rocks are formed, such as igneous rocks (formed when molten rocks cools), certain radioactive atoms are trapped inside the rocks during this formation process. Then these radioactive atoms decay over time.
The age of the rock can be estimated by comparing the occurring radioactive isotope within the material to the abundance of its decay products, which form at a known constant rate of decay.
From the options;
A) this is about the formation of the radioactive molecules and not about radiometric dating
B) this is radiocarbon dating (cabon dating/carbon-14 dating)
C) the <em>assumption </em>is wrong since the radioactive isotopes decays not accumulate.
D) the corect option as I explained earlier.
I believe the answer you're looking for is Southwest Asia, looking at a climate map, the drier areas are located to the southwest.
The value of A is 78 degrees.
Groundwater is important for us as it is the greatest source for freshwater, crop irrigation and agricultural activities.
In general, groundwater is present in reservoirs and aquifers below the surface of the earth and also most crucial natural source of water for any nation. Groundwater provides fresh drinking water to almost 50% of global population. With an ever increase in global population, the use of groundwater is also increasing.
The primary way of wasting fresh water is its overuse in households such as in kitchen, toilets for taking long showers, washing and bathing purposes.
We can save groundwater by avoiding unnecessary leakage, unnecessary showers, and decreasing shower time.

A, in urban areas :)
Urban areas have bigger populations than rural ones and the Rocky Mountains have terrain that is difficult to settle on
