How would a geologist use absolute dating to determine the age of sedimentary layers? by dating the age of intrusions and extrus

ions near a sedimentary rock layer by comparing the relative ages of several sedimentary rock layers by identifying fossils in nearby intrusion and extrusions and determining their age

Answer:

Radiometric dating methods

Explanation:

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a chronological or specified time scale in which events occurred in archaeology and geology. Absolute dating can be determined by using properties of the atoms that make up materials.

The most common method of absolute dating uses by geologists is radiometric dating methods which is based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon found in the rocks. By comparing the ratio of parent isotope with a known half-life to daughter product in the rock, the age of the rock can be determined.

The carbon-14 isotope is used in radiocarbon dating, but is only useful for measuring recently formed rocks in the geologic past. The decay of Potassium-40 isotope known as potassium-argon (K-Ar) method allows dating of materials that up to 1,000 billion years old.

Explain how physical and chemical changes affect the mass of a material
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

During a physical change, the arrangement of particles may change but the mass, number of atoms and number of molecules will stay the same. ... During a chemical change, the mass and number of atoms is conserved, but the number of molecules is not always the same. Chemical reactions involve large changes in energy.

Why is it important to have both negative and positive feedback loops in the body
ELEN [110]

Answer: positive feedback loops enhance or amplify changes. this tends to move a system away from its equilibrium state and make it more unstable. Negative feedbacks tend to dampen or buffer changes. this tends to hold a system to some equilibrium state making it more stable.

Rosalind Franklin used x-ray diffraction to record how x-rays scatter when bounced off the surface of DNA molecules.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

e) All of the answers are correct

Explanation:

The first X-ray picture of DNA taken in 1952 by Rosalind Franklin using the  X-ray crystallography technique revealed the helical shape of DNA. Based on this discovery, it was discovered later on that the DNA molecule was made of two chains of nucleotides and at high humidity i.e when exposed to water it becomes long and thin.

during exercise ,energy demand in the muscle increases.which other body system directly provide for this demand?
TEA [102]
During exercise, a number of changes occur to maximise the body's oxygen intake. Firstly our heart rate/ pulse increases. This is due to the heart beating much faster and more forcefully to pump blood faster around the body.
Our breathing rate increases to intake more oxygen and exhale more CO2.

The smooth muscle in our trachea and bronchi relaxes to increase the lumen size thus making breathing easier. Adrenaline may also be released leading further amplifying these changes as well as reducing blood flow to the gut and thus peristalsis occurs at a much slower rate.  

Also when we exercise we respire more, producing heat, which must be expelled. This may be done through sweating. Another physiological change that occurs is vasodilation of arterioles closer to the skin to allow more blood to flow closer to the skin, allowing more heat to radiate out.
