Find the slope of a line parallel to a line that contains the points (9, -3) and (-3, 8).
Answer:
[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {11}{-12} [/tex]
Explanation:
Given the following points;
Points on the x-axis (x1, x2) = (9, -3)
Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = (-3, 8)
To find the slope of a line parallel to a line;
Mathematically, the slope of a line is given by the formula;
[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {Change \; in \; y-axis}{Change \; in \; x-axis} [/tex]
[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {8 - (-3)}{-3 - 9} [/tex]
[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {8 + 3}{-3 - 9} [/tex]
[tex] Slope, \ m = \frac {11}{-12} [/tex]
Therefore, the slope of the parallel line is -11/12.
The half-life of Carbon-14 is 5, 730 years. you find a sample where 1.5625% of the original Carbon-14 still remains how old is that sample ?
Answer:
The sample is about 34380 years old.
Explanation:
The amount of Carbon-14 mass diminishes exponentially in time, whose model is described below:
[tex]\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex] (1)
[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]m_{o}[/tex] - Initial mass, in grams.
[tex]m(t)[/tex] - Current mass, in grams.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in years.
[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, in years.
[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] - Half-life, in years.
If we know that [tex]\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = \frac{1.5625}{100}[/tex] and [tex]t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr[/tex], then the age of the sample is:
[tex]\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}[/tex]
[tex]\tau = 8266.643\,yr[/tex]
[tex]t = - \tau \cdot \ln \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}}[/tex]
[tex]t = - (8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln \frac{1.5625}{100}[/tex]
[tex]t \approx 34380.002\,yr[/tex]
The sample is about 34380 years old.
Ocean life appears to be affected by a relatively small number of variables such as temperature, density, available sunlight, available nutrients. If any one of these variables changes how do you think it might it impact the human food web?
Answer:
A change in one of these variables can cause a population decrease in some living being that has the ocean as its habitat. This decrease would affect the feeding of animals that consume this living being and this will disharmonize the entire food chain of consumers above this living being.
Explanation:
Although the ocean is affected by a relatively small number of variables. These variables are essential for the maintenance of living beings within the ocean. If one of these variables is modified, in the long term, many species of living beings can be negatively impacted in an intense way, even having their survival in danger and decreasing their population density. This would be very harmful to the harmony of food chains within the ocean. That's because, as you may already know, the food chain is a feeding sequence between living beings, where one species feeds on another, which shows how one species depends on the other to survive.
Thus, if there is a change in the variables that act on the ocean and this change causes the population reduction of a species of living being. The species of animals that feed on this living being will also be affected as they will not have enough food to sustain themselves. Isss will decrease the population density of this second species, affecting the species that will feed on it, and so on.
Ice crystals in the Bristol Glacier are 1 mm long. The crystals in the Camden Glacier are 0.5 mm long. Which of the following statements is true?
The Bristol Glacier is larger than the Camden Glacier.
The Bristol Glacier is older than the Camden Glacier.
The Bristol Glacier moves faster than the Camden Glacier.
The Bristol Glacier is closer to the North Pole than the Camden Glacier.
The correct answer is B. The Bristol Glacier is older than the Camden Glacier.
Explanation
The formation of glaciers has three stages. The first is the accumulation in which the snow falls in one place and accumulates there and forms the glacier. The second is compaction in which new layers of snow accumulate on top of the first ones, compacting the lower layers. The third is crystallization in which pressure and air cause snow to crystallize into glacial ice. Therefore, the age of a glacier can be known by its length, the older is the longer glacier. According to the above, if the length of the Bristol Glacier is greater than that of the Camden Glacier, it is because it is older. Then the correct answer is B.
Marble and Quartzite can be similar in appearance. Name two simple ID techniques that can be used to differentiate between the two?
Answer:
The scratch test (also known as Mohs Hardness scale) is a way you can test a mineral or stones for its endurance. The minerals you test are scratched by a penny and are measured on a scale of 1-10 on how durable they are. Stones such as quartz have a much stronger endurance to a scratch in the test than marble because of quartzes makeup. Another way to differentiate between the two would be to look at the mineral’s luster. The luster of a mineral is the way the light bounces off of its surface. There are different lusters that different minerals give off. There are two major types of lusters and they are Metallic or nonmetallic. A metallic luster is typically shiny while a nonmetallic luster can have many different types like musty or solid. Because quartz is a quartz it will be metallic because it is shiny while marble will be nonmetallic because it does not reflect light.

DAT Explain the significance of resouras. Suggest any three ways to conserve resources to achieve sustainable. development
Answer:
Explanation:
Resources may be explained as a range of products, equipment, manpower and all other things an individual or organization has at its disposal in other to function prey and effectively.
Resources may also be natural which will include all resources borne out of nature such as air, sunlight, mineral resources and all resources devoid of human doing.
Resources are required on other to ensure that an organization functions well as it will be impossible to produce without the needed help (resources). Similarly, it will be impossible to survive without the availability of nature resources as they help us breath, make money, in food production and so on.
Resources conservation involves the effective and efficient use of resources. Conservation of resources can be enhanced in ways such as :
Embracing the use of renewables : The use of renewable energy sources provides a clean choice of energy which is obtained from nature's routine. The use of solar energy frolic the sun or wind powered energy obtained from natural breeze or wind.
Embrace Recycling : Recycling involves the reuse of already used materials as a form of raw material to make new products, these ensures that optimum use of the resources at our disposal is achieved while also ensuring that we have a cleaner environment.
Use of reusable goods or materials : The large influx of onr-tine use products such as disposables and certain plastic materials has contributed to large quantities of water materials on landfills, they adoption of reusable materials which can be used over certain period of time will go a long way in controlling these waste Influx.

In the Layers panel, turn on Borders and Labels and also Gallery > Volcanoes, then double-click on the Problem 7 placemark. Divergent boundaries often begin as triple junctions composed of three rift "arms" at ~120° apart (which may or may not evolve into divergent boundaries). Knowing that rifts (red lines) generally open perpendicular to the rift (or sub-parallel to the light blue transform faults), which of the statements below about this area is incorrect?
a. the NW-trending Red Sea is a linear sea that is opening in a NE-SW direction
b. the ENE-trending Gulf of Aden is a linear sea that is opening in a NNE-SSW direction
c. the volcanoes in Africa define a narrow linear rift that is opening in a NW-SE direction
d. the volcanoes in Africa define a volcanic arc related to subduction off Africa's east coast
Answer:
d. the volcanoes in Africa define a volcanic arc related to subduction off Africa's east coast
Explanation:
Many crust plates move over the mantle. These plates are limited by three types of ridges or borders that differ in the movement they produce.
Boundaries types: Divergent, Convergent, and Transforming.
Divergent boundary: Occurs along with an underwater mountain range, known as the mid-oceanic ridge or divergent ridge. New crust is created by the molten materials rising from the mantle. The two plates at each side of the rift separate, and the stream of hot material creates a new seabed between them. It occurs an expansion of the sea bottom, which separates the plates. The divergence direction is transversal to the rift orientation. Old plates get separated, and the new crust instantaneously gets formed. The emerging mantle occupies the space left by the separation of the two plates.
a. the NW-trending Red Sea is a linear sea that is opening in a NE-SW direction. CORRECT → The diverging direction is perpendicular to the rift orientation.
b. the ENE-trending Gulf of Aden is a linear sea that is opening in a NNE-SSW direction. CORRECT
c. the volcanoes in Africa define a narrow linear rift that is opening in a NW-SE direction. CORRECT.
d. the volcanoes in Africa define a volcanic arc related to subduction off Africa's east coast ⇒ INCORRECT. The collision between plates creates volcanic arches and continental arches. This process belongs to the convergent boundaries, in which two oceanic plates collide, or one oceanic plate crushes with a continental one.
Although midlatitude cyclones and tropical cyclones are both rotating weather systems, they are different in many ways. Label each of the following characteristics according to which type of system it is associated with.
a. No fronts associated with storm
b. A warm-core of low pressure
c. Isobars are more course and less circular
d. Smaller in area
e. Storm weakens with height
f. A cold core
g. Storm intensifies with height
Answer:
a. Tropical cyclone
b. Tropical cyclone
c. Tropical cyclone
d. Tropical cyclones
e. Mid latitude cyclone
f. Mid latitude cyclone
g. Tropical cyclone
Explanation:
Tropical cyclone is rapidly rotating storm which destroys everything that comes in its way. It intensifies with height and usually covers smaller area.
Mid latitude cyclone is most strong form of cyclone which forms due to temperature difference, Warn air at cold front rises and create a low pressure which gives rise to cyclone.

similarity between
weathering and mass wasting
Answer:
Both processes occur in place.
Explanation:
Answer:
similarity
Explanation:
The physical disintegration or chemical change of rocks at or near the Earth's surface is known as weathering. The transfer or movement of rock or dirt down slope mostly by gravity is known as mass wasting. Erosion occurs when smaller rock fragments (now pebbles, sand, or soil) are pushed by natural forces. Weathering is the process of a rock changing or breaking but remaining in its original location. Erosion occurs when weathered rock fragments are transported away.
