Answer: It is called upwelling

Explanation:

Normally, strong trade winds blow westward across the tropical Pacific, the region of the Pacific Ocean located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These winds push warm surface water towards the western Pacific, where it borders Asia and Australia.  

 

Due to the warm trade winds, the sea surface is normally about .5 meter (1.5 feet) higher and 45° F warmer in Indonesia than Ecuador. The westward movement of warmer waters causes cooler waters to rise up towards the surface on the coasts of Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. This process is known as upwelling.

aev [14]

Answer:

C) X=100%; Y=0%

B) X=50%; Y=50%

Explanation:

The oldest rocks on Earth are about four billion years old. When a rock forms, it contains unstable isotope and no daughter isotopes, so every rock will contain 100% parent isotope and 0% daughter isotope.

The half-life of the radioactive isotope Of this particular rock is 5730 years. The half-life is an amount of time needed for half of the parent isotope (50%) to become a daughter isotope. In this case, after 5730 years, half of the initial parent isotope will transform to daughter isotope, which means that after 5730 years, there will be 50-50 of the parent and daughter istotopes presented in the rock. After two half-lives, there will be only 25% of the parent isotope remaining (that’s half of the previous 50% which remained after first half-life), and after three half-lives, there will be only 12,5% of the parent isotope remaining and so on.
