You are dating rocks by their proportions of parent isotope potassium-40(half life 1.25 billion years) and daughter isotope argon-40.
Find the age for a rock that contains 3 times as much Argon-40 as potassium 40.
Needs Complete solution with 100 % accuracy.
Earth's surface area is 5.10x10^8 km^2 .Earth's crust has a thickness (or depth) of 35 km and density 2.8 g/cm^3 for earth's crust.

Larger rocks are slowly eroded away by the elements on Earth.
Question 3
A metamorphic rock can also be thought of as a rock that changes. What causes the rock to change?
Layers of sediment building up over time and pressing down, forming rock.
Rain, wind, freezing, thawing, and plant roots growing cause the rock to erode away, leaving behind
sediments.
Extreme heat and pressure from deep within Earth cause changes to the rock's appearance, structur
and composition.
The rock slowly changes into a new rock over time.
Qestion4
Based on the context in paragraph 4, fossil refers to
how igneous rocks were formed over time
the remains of dead plants and animals settle to the bottom of an ocean or lake and are covered by
mud
a trace or print, or the remains of a plant or animal of a past age preserved…

- Hydrothermal vent areas have hydrothermal chimneys, from which hot, mineral-rich water comes out.

Where does this hot water come from? a Ice underneat the seafloor gets melted by volcanic activity, and this extra water comes out of the vents. b It comes directly from the Earth's core, since our core is made of hot, high-pressure water. c It is seawater that went down through cracks, got heated by magma, and rises up to emerge from the seafloor. d Some of the minerals in the Earth's mantle break down and release large volumes of water.arrow_forwardA fossilized leaf contains 70% Of its normal amount of carbon- 14.
