The principle that allows us to assign dates to events on the geologic time scale is radioactive decay. Therefore, option (C) is correct.
What is radioactive decay?This theory is based on the observation that certain isotopes of elements are inherently unstable and, as a result, decay over time, giving rise to the formation of new isotopes or elements. Scientists are able to determine the age of a sample by measuring the ratio of parent to daughter isotopes in the sample. This, in turn, enables them to assign dates to events on the geologic time scale.
The method of determining the age of rocks, minerals, and other geological materials is known as radiometric dating, and it is utilized extensively in the field of geology as well as in other earth sciences.

evaporation, precipitation, condensation, respiration
condensation, precipitation, evaporation, sublimation
Answer:
Studies have revealed that evaporation—the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas—from oceans, seas, and other bodies of water (lakes, rivers, streams) provides nearly 90% of the moisture in our atmosphere. Most of the remaining 10% found in the atmosphere is released by plants through transpiration.

2 paragraphs about interdependence-biology
Answer:
Interdependence is mutual dependence between things. If you study biology, you'll discover that there is a great deal of interdependence between plants and animals. Inter- means "between," so interdependence is dependence between things. We often use interdependence to describe complex systems.All living things depend on their environment to supply them with what they need, including food, water, and shelter. ... Many living things interact with other organisms in their environment. In fact, they may need other organisms in order to survive. This is known as interdependence.Explanation:

Mention the function of oveary ,ovduct and utterus in the female reproductive system. how essential materials are supplied for the development of foetus?
Answer:
- The ovary is the female organ that produces the female gametes
- The oviducts are tubes that extend from the ovaries to the uterus
- The uterus is an organ that acts to nourish and house a fertilized egg until the fetus is delivered
- Materials are supplied by the mother's placenta
Explanation:
The ovaries are the female gonads that function to produce and release female gametes (i.e., oocytes) into the reproductive tract. These organs are also in charge of producing female hormones (e.g. progesterone). The oviducts, also known as fallopian tubes, are a pair of tubes that extend from each ovary to the top of the uterus. The uterus is a thick muscular organ of the female reproductive system that nourishes and houses the embryo and fetus. Finally, materials such as oxygen and nutrients pass from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta which is connected to the fetus by the umbilical cord.

Surprisingly, whales have hind limbs (leg bones) that they do not use, but that are thought to be left over from an earlier ancestor of theirs. This is an example of which type of structures?
Answer:
Vestigial organs
Explanation:
Vestigial organs/ structures are those parts of the body that have become redundant, weakened, or useless to the body as a result of prolonged inactiveness.
According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, he explains that parts of the body that are not used quite often do not develop any further, and as generations of offspring come and go, such parts become useless to the organism. This is the law of use/misuse of parts.
This is what happened to the whales. Over the years, the whales must have discovered that the legs were useless to them as they spent most of their time in the water. This led to the degeneration of such body part over thousands of generations, leaving them with just a faint trace of the hind limbs which were observed

Explain how the sun determines climate distribution. What type of weather conditions does the sun control?
Answer:
The rate of energy coming from the Sun changes slightly day to day. It has been suggested that changes in solar output might affect our climate both directly, by changing the rate of solar heating of the Earth and atmosphere, and indirectly, by changing cloud forming processes
The Sun warms our planet, heating the surface, the oceans and the atmosphere. This energy to the atmosphere is one of the primary drivers our weather. Our climate is also strongly affected by the amount of solar radiation received at Earth.
Watch the seven minute video on the "Mystery of the Buffalo boom" on you tube. Write a reflection on how scientists used their reasoning skills to make a claim about causes of the "buffalo boom".
Answer:
In the "Mystery of the Buffalo boom" scientists first try to find the answer in the two most common things that can affect a population of animals. Food and predators.
First, they studied the buffalos' food supply, grass. They found that there has not been an increase in it so that the number of buffalos multiplied.
Then they studied the predator's population, and they found that there was not a decrease in the number of them that could affect the buffalos increasing numbers.
As the two main things that controlled a population were not affected, they had to find other causes. The next thing that they studied were historical facts about buffalos and diseases. Scientists discovered that a virus that affected cows had impacted these animals too, which was the cause of a considerable decrease in the buffalo's population many years back.
Due to the drastic impact that the rinderpest had on cows, a vaccination plan was implemented. As the cows now were protected against this virus, the virus could not reproduce as it did, ending the spreading of this disease in cows. As a consequence, the buffalos were no longer infected, and their population grew thanks to the vaccination plan.
In conclusion, when the most common things that can affect a population are not the cause, we have to look into the past and find what has changed and how it impacted the animals. It is using logical thinking skills to determine what has changed and what that change made.
Explanation:
In the video "Mystery of the Buffalo boom" the ecologist Tony Sinclair found an abnormal buffalos' number in Tanzania. As the increase in the buffalos' population was something unusual, he knew that something had changed, but he did not know what. Sinclair, with other scientists, used their reasoning skills and thought that the two most logical things that can affect a population are food and predators. When they studied these two variables, they found out that they were not the problem. The next step was to look for past events that impacted buffalos. They found out that a virus, which directly affected cows but also buffalos, had been erased from the Earth thanks to a vaccination plan. As a result, the disease spreading between cows stopped, and as a consequence, it also stopped between buffalos.
We can see that everything is connected and that by using reasoning skills and logic, scientists could determine what happened.
If the half-life of a radioactive atom is 3,500 years. How old is the substance if the parent-daughter ratio is 1:127?
Answer:
2.447 × 10⁴ years
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Half-life of the radioactive atom (t1/2): 3,500 yearsParent-daughter ratio ([A]/[A]₀): 1:127 (1/127)Step 2: Calculate the rate constant
Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetics. We can calculate the rate constant (k) using the following equation.
k = ln2 / (t1/2) = ln2 / 3,500 y = 1.980 × 10⁻⁴ y⁻¹
Step 3: Calculate the time elapsed (t)
For first-order kinetics, we will use the following expression.
ln ([A]/[A]₀) = -k × t
t = ln ([A]/[A]₀)/ (-k)
t = ln (1/127) / (1.980 × 10⁻⁴ y⁻¹) = 2.447 × 10⁴ y

How do gravity and inertia work together in our solar system?
Answer:
They work together to keep things in orbit.
Explanation:
Gravity pulls things in, while inertia says that all celestial objects will try their best to continue forward. The results in the orbiting of celestial objects, like the Earth, around other celestial objects, like the Sun.
Answer:
The gravity of the sun and the planets works together with the inertia to create the orbits and keep them consistent. The gravity pulls the sun and the planets together, while keeping them apart. The inertia provides the tendency to maintain speed and keep moving.(Source: sciencing.com)

Explanation:
what is photosynthesis
Answer:
photosynthesis is the cycle of plants using sunlight water and carbon dioxide.
Answer:
Photosynthesis is the process in which carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water gets turned into energy (glucose) by plants, and the plant releases byproducts (oxygen) back into the air.
Explanation:
Inside the plant is a small organelle (a little body inside a cell dedicated to a certain job) called a chloroplast. When a plant is in sunlight, it gets absorbed into the chloroplast and converted into energy by the chloroplast. While the plant is absorbing sunlight, it is also taking in CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), H2O (Water) and minerals from the soil to help in the process to generate energy.
