False... There are four types of production factors.
Landslides and avalanches are the most dramatic, sudden, and dangerous examples of earth materials moved by gravity. Landslides are sudden falls of rock, whereas avalanches are sudden falls of snow.
The answer is A) by offering incentives to families who only have one child
There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.
1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)
2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).
3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).
I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)
A radioactive element with a half-life of 1,000 years, and starting mass of 20 grams, will need 2,000 years to decrease to 5 grams.
Explanation:
The radioactive elements all have a specific half-life. Each element's half-life is well known, and they are used by scientists of numerous fields as they are excellent for determining the age of a particular item, be it or organic or non-organic nature. In this case, we have a radioactive element with a half-life of 1,000 years, and starting mass of 20 grams.
The half-life basically means that half of the mass of an element is lost during a particular period of time. For the element in question we need to find out how much time will be needed for it to decrease to 5 grams. In order to get to the result, we just need to add 1,000 years on every decrease of half of the mass:
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
So in 1,000 years, the element in question will decrease to 10 grams, and in further 1,000 years (2,000 cumulatively) it will decrease to 5 grams.
