GOLD MEDEL AND FAN PLEASE 7 th grade work conecttions academy/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know this is math but i could not find anyowne in the science section

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you still help me, please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do layers B and D compare in age if rock layers between B and D have eroded away, what is the bondary between B adn D called? http://assets.openstudy.com/updates/attachments/54355be3e4b09f2026eb5921-igreen45-1412783172647-sicencework.jpg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just 3 questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unconformity. At some stage layer B was laid down, followed by layer C Then erosion of the surface removed all of layer C at some location - perhaps sea level rose and wave action removed the top strata. Later on layer D was laid down directly on top of layer B. That can be ascertained by comparing the strata at adjacent sites where some of layers B, C & D are all present.

ok 2 more and we r done then i will give u a edle also fan u ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hit me

what is the half-life of strontimun-90 explain you answer https://www.connexus.com/content/media/920126-1142013-60430-PM-1598683706.jpg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Amount remaining = original amount * (1/2)^n ... where n is the number of half-lives It doesn't say how much was released ... but the original amount is 100% = 1 so the amount remaining = 11% of 1 = 0.11 0.11 = 1 *(1/2)^n 0.11 = (1/2)^n take logs to base 10 of both sides: log 0.11 = n log 0.5 n = log 0.11 / log 0.5 n = 3.184 Each half-life is 32 years So number of years taken = 3.184 half-lives x [32 years / half-life] = 101.9 years

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there, it took me a while but, there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow 1 more :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Strontium-90 (90Sr) is a radioactive isotope of strontium produced by nuclear fission, with a half-life of 28.8 years.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh got it thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It undergoes decay into yttrium-90, with a decay energy of 0.546 MeV. Strontium-90 has applications in medicine and industry and is an isotope of concern in fallout from nuclear weapons and nuclear accidents.[1]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was the first part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats why theres a 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Define the Geologic time scale and explin why geoglists use it to show earth's history (btw that is the last one)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Strontium-90 is a "bone seeker" that exhibits biochemical behavior similar to calcium, the next lighter group 2 element. After entering the organism, most often by ingestion with contaminated food or water, about 70–80% of the dose gets excreted. Virtually all remaining strontium-90 is deposited in bones and bone marrow, with the remaining 1% remaining in blood and soft tissues. Its presence in bones might possibly cause bone cancer, cancer of nearby tissues, and leukemia.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry about the ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anymore??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its OK it happents alot to me 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Define the Geologic time scale and explin why geoglists use it to show earth's history

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah its a pain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The geologic time scale is used to group periods of time together that share a common geologic feature and/or biologic feature.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is a very quick way for us to talk about a rock or sequence of rocks in a context that we readily understand, without having to specify a number or range of numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wwo you're VERY GOOD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's kind of a silly example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To geologists, the movie "Jurassic Park," would have referred to a period of time between about 150 - 200 million years ago. We know what was going on with rocks and such in the world at that time, and we also know what kinds of plants and animals were living in that time... and "Jurassic" made all of us geologists understand the same thing without length explanations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just gave u a medle i'll fan ya now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a FUN fact to share

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Jurassic Park" was totally wrong!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Based on the dinosaurs that they showed, the movie should have been called "Cretaceous Park."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's just a quick way for geologists to understand things, in a somewhat similar way that biologists classify organisms into groups - they can say something in one word, and all of the biologists who they're talking to will know what they mean without a long explanation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good links for you below. Easy to understand, if I've been confusing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u for EVERYTHING AND THE TIME

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm trying to fan u but it keeps loading

glad i could help
