strontium-147 cut into pieces what would be the half -life of each piece?
Answer:
2.62 years
Explanation:
The half life of a material is the time taken for half of the number of radioactive atoms in a radioactive material to remain.
If a radioactive material is cut into pieces, each piece has the same half life as the whole material.
Hence, if Strontium-147 is cut into pieces, each piece will have a half life of 2.62 years, just as the whole material.
What evidence, first published by Abraham Ortelius, supports Alfred
Wegener's theory of continental drift?
A. Similar animals live in different parts of the world.
B. Sensitive instruments measure plate movement.
C. Faraway places share similar fossils.
D. The coasts of South America and Africa fit together.
Answer:
Abraham Ortelius put forward as evidence for the theory of continental drift the fact that the coasts of South America and Africa fit together.
Explanation:
A is not correct because the animals that live in the present would hardly prove anything when it comes to continental drift.
B is not correct because such instruments didn't exist during the time of Ortelius.
C is not correct because this was not a piece of evidence put out by Ortelius, but it was Wegener that did that.
D is correct because Ortelius based his theory around the shapes of the continents and that their edges seemed to fit, with the eastern coastline of South America and western coastline of Africa being the most noticeable example.
A 30 foot ladder is leaned against a wall.
If the base of the ladder is 6 feet from the
wall, how high up the wall will the ladder reach?
Answer: 90
Explanation:
= 1/2 x 30 x 6
= 1/2 x 180
after simplifying them you get 90ft.
Therefore, the ladder will reach 90ft high up the wall.

Answer:
Oceanic plate being destroyed
Explanation:
The convergence at this margin between the oceanic pacific plate and the Continental South American plate causes subduction here.
At this margin, there is crustal destruction.
As the denser Pacific plate subducts under the less dense continental crust, it is increasingly destroyed. Most convergent margin of this type leads to the destruction of the crust. Usually, on an adjacent side, there is a mountain building. Basically, at this margin, the most important thing is that the crust is being destroyed.What are the problems with getting electricity in the arctic?
Answer:
The main problems with bringing electricity to the Arctic are the climate and the condition of the soil.
Explanation:
The Arctic is one of the hardest areas in the world when it comes to bringing electricity to it. While the economic factor plays a role, it is still not the crucial one, as there can be enough investments without any particular problem to set up the infrastructure. The problems are in maintaining, preserving, and stabilizing the electrical infrastructure.
The problems come mainly because of the climate and the condition of the soil. The climate is very cold which affects the amount of electricity that is delivered, but the bigger problem is the constant powerful winds that are breaking up the installations. For most of the year, the soil is frozen, which is not a great starting point, but an even bigger problem is that it defrosts in the summer, the soil is oversaturated with water and not stable at all, so the electricity polls fall or lean.
Explain the reason why when you find one angle you can find the remaining angles.
Answer: if you find two angles of a triangle you can find the remaining angle because they all add up to 180 degrees, so you can add the two angles together and the difference between 180 and the sum of the two angles is the measurement of the missing angle. Hope this helped :)
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
The opposite angle is the same as the known angle. Each of the adjacent angles is the supplementary angle to the known angle. That is the pair add up to 180 degrees
Explain what differentiates the Earth’s crust and lithosphere.
Answer:
The curst is the
thin layer of distinctive chemicals composition overlying the ultramafic upper mantle. The lithosphere is rigid outer layer of the earth required by plate tectonic theory.
Explanation:
I hope this answer help you
Answer:
Earth’s crust is distinguished from the lithosphere because the crust refers to a compositional later and the lithosphere is a mechanical layer, the solid layer near the surface of the Earth. The crust is mostly composed of alumino-silicate minerals while the lithosphere includes some of the solid regions of the upper mantle which is mostly ferro-magnesium silicates.

Which of the following is an example of a plant responding to an external stimulus?
Science
Answer:
Plants too are the living organisms of the ecosystem. They too respond to the external environmental stimuli. Phototropism is the best example for it. All of us know that for plants to grow light is necessary . Hence all plants respond to the changes in the environment , and respond to it by growing their stems, roots, or leaves toward the direction of stimulus or away from the stimulus.the following sentence correct or not :they treated them roughly
I'm not sure if you're asking if the sentence is grammatically correct but if so then yes.

Question 2
During a tectonic plate demonstration, a teacher pushes two pieces of clay together. What kind of plate boundary was the teacher demonstrating?
A
convergent
B
earthquake
С
equator
D
divergent
Answer:
A. convergent
Explanation:
"Tectonic plates" are very important when it comes to studying the Earth. It moves in different directions every year. There are particularly three types of movements or plate boundaries (convergent, divergent and transform).
When the tectonic plates move away from each other, it is called "divergent." When they move towards each other, it is called "convergent," just like what the teacher demonstrated above. Pushing the two pieces of clay together means she's showing the movement of the tectonic plates towards each other. When the plates slide past each other, it is called "transform."
