Answer:
The geologist time scale was formed when scientists studied rock layers and index fossils worldwide. With this information, they placed Earth's rocks in order by relative age. Later, radioactive dating helped determine the exact age of the divisons in the geologic time scale.
This scale is organized by the 4.6 billion years of earth's history into sections based on important changes seen in the geologic record. The largest intervals are called eons, with each eon containing many millions of years.
In precambarian time the processes that affect Earth's surface have lessened the erosion on the surface. Earth was being hit by meteorites every second. Now there is water erosion and there wasn't back then. The surface changes have lessened over time.
Answer:
Addition of a catalyst can speed up a reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy
Explanation:
A catalyst is an agent that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction that requires a lower activation energy. As the requirement for activation energy is less in the presence of a catalyst, there are more reactant particles becoming involved in the chemical reaction and as such there are more products formed per unit time, or there is an increase in the rate of the reaction
Example of catalyst include
1. Addition of potassium permanganate to hydrogen peroxide to aid in the rapid decomposition into water and oxygen
2. Platinum serves as a catalyst in the complete combustion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide.
Answer:
Second Law
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration caused in a body is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportion to the mass of the body.
This is given by :

In this case the suggestion given to reduce the aircraft's cargo load is the right move as reducing the load on the aircraft will decrease the mass of the whole aircraft. This in turn will help the aircraft to accelerate more as acceleration inversely varies with mass. Thus the aircraft will be able to reach its flying speed even on a short run way.
Hence, Newton's second law is applied.
Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves.
The early precambrian atmosphere consisted primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide with almost no oxygen.
<span>Today, the atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen, less carbon dioxide and similar amounts of nitrogen. </span>
<span>Photosynthetic green-leaf plants and trees are largely responsible for the change, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.</span>
