A modern controversy by some maverick, so-called historians wishes to prove that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built more than

10,000 years ago instead of the generally understood age of 5600 years ago. They propose to date the Cretaceous limestone used to construct the pyramid by using Carbon-14. Will they be successful in proving the pyramid was built 10,000 years ago? If not, why not? HINT: C-14 has a half-life of 5730 years and a maximum utility of 50,000 to 100,000 years.

Answer:

Yes, they will be successful

Explanation:

The method of carbon dating is used to measure the age of artifacts. This has made the technique very important in archaeological investigations.

Since Carbon-14 dating technique has a maximum utility of 50,000 to 100,000 years and a half life of 5730 years , then they will be successful if they use Carbon-14 dating in the study.

<span>Most of the charged particles from the sun are deflected around earth by the Earth's magnetic field.

Inside the Earth lies molten core. High percentage of the core is iron. This iron rotates around the center and create magnetic field. This field extends out of the Earth into the space. It surrounds Earth and protects it from the charged particles. Those particles are diverted to the magnetic poles and they create lights in the atmosphere by reacting with gases in atmosphere. On the north magnetic pole we can see northern lights (aurora borealis) and on the south magnetic pole we can see south lights (aurora australis).</span>
