How are different techniques used to determine the absolute ages of rocks

Biology
1 answer:
Aleks04 [339]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Geologists find absolute ages by measuring the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock. When rocks are formed, small amounts of radioactive elements usually get included. As time passes, the "parent" radioactive elements change at a regular rate into non-radioactive "daughter" elements.

Explanation:

I got this from g o o g l e.

ANSWER:

Radioactive element life years = 1000/2 = 500yrs.

So, Rock years

  • 6.25/100 × 500

If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases (vasodilation) net filtration pressure will incre
Vinvika [58]

True. If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases due to vasodilation, which ultimately increases the net filtration pressure.

The filtration of blood occurs in the kidney, an excretory organ. The kidney is composed of numerous small units called nephrons, which is responsible for the blood filtration.

Glomerulus is part of nephron and the glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle of the kidney. This process is driven by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure.

These pressures are collectively called net filtration pressure, which is influenced by the diameter of afferent arterioles.

If the arterioles constricts, net filtration pressure will decrease and if arterioles dilates, net filtration pressure will increase. This mechanism is regulated by neural, renal and hormonal regulation.
