Answer:

Explanation:

By definition, after a radio active decay, a parent isotope will create a daughter isotope.

Layer C is exactly one half-life from Layer E at 50000 years. So half of the original parent isotopes from Layer E would have decayed to form daughter isotopes. As C has 18 radioactive isotopes together, E should have 6 daughter and 6 parent isotopes.

Answer:

Explanation:

Rock Layer E is 250,000 years old. Rock Layer C is 200,000 years old. So the two layers are off by 50,000 years; equal to one half-life.

As Rock Layer E has undergone radioactive decay ONCE, each parent isotope forms one daughter isotope after the decay.

Rock layer C has not undergone radioactive decay and has 18 radioactive isotopes. So that represents an equal number of parent and daughter isotopes, i.e. 9 parent and 9 daughter isotopes.

So there are 9 parent and 0 daughter isotopes in layer E.

In which of the following tectonic plate settings are volcanoes typically NOT found? a. Mid-ocean ridges b. Continental rifts c.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Answer is D. Transform faults.

Explanation:

The transform fault is situation where the tectonic plates slide past one another. It can also be described as a conservative boundaries because it does lead to the creation or destruction of crust. But , the build up of pressure between two plates along the faults can produce earthquakes.

In this case, volcanoes settings can not be found in the transform faults because there is absence of volcanoes vent, which will allow the passage of the molten rock to the surface.
