Hi there!

In order to do fossil comparative anatomy and branching diagrams to explain the evolution of organism, scientists use <u>radiocarbonation </u><u>method</u>.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 can combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to create carbon dioxide, which is then absorbed by plants and makes its way through the food chain. The amount of carbon-14 in living plants and animals matches the amount in the atmosphere, but when plants and animals die, they no longer absorb carbon-14.

Because radiocarbon has a known rate of decay, the scientists can now determine about how long it has been since the plant or animal was alive. <u>The lower the amount of radiocarbon, the older the object.</u>

(Sometimes, C-12 is also used)

Why is the weight of an object more on Earth than on the Moon?
erma4kov [3.2K]
This happens if the object goes somewhere where gravity is stronger, or weaker, such as the Moon. The Moon has less mass than the Earth, so its gravity is less than the Earth's gravity. This means that objects weigh less on the Moon than they do on the Earth. The Moon's gravity is one sixth of the Earth's gravity. Hope this helps!

Why didn’t the three candles stop burning at the same time after the jars were placed? What does this tell us about the rate of
Len [333]

A lit candle needs to draw oxygen from the air in order to continue burning. If you limit the amount of air available, the candle's flame eventually goes out once it uses up all the oxygen. Lit candles in smaller jar stop burning first because the oxygen trapped in the jar are fewer than the ones in bigger jars.
