- Carbon-14 is constantly being produced in the upper atmosphere, and the amount is in equilibrium. As long as an organism is alive, it keeps its carbon isotopes in balance with the atmosphere, but at soon as it dies, it stops taking up new 14C, and so the geologic clock starts. You found a shell buried in sedimentary layers, which has 6% of its original 14C left. Determine the age of the shell.

- 1. What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of using points near the corners of aphoto for scale computations?2. Would you consider the aerial photo as a map substitute than a topo map? Why?3. Aside from using the topographic map, suggest other means of determining the scale of an aerialphoto. Cite your references if there are any.arrow_forwardIn determining the least count of the main scale in the Vernier caliper, which of the following method must be followed? * O Divide the difference between two adjacent main scale values by the number of divisions between them. O Divide the least count of the main scale by the number of division of the Vernier scale. Multiply the least count of the Vernier scale by the number of Vernier division that is aligned with the main scale mark. O Read the main scale mark just before the zero mark of the Vernier scale.arrow_forwardProblem 4. Physical Features of the Giant Planets: Volume and Density of Jupiter (Palen, et. al. 1st Ed.
