- As you move from the surface of the Earth to the inner core, what happens to the density of the materials that make up each layerCompare the energy released by an atomic bomb blast (magnitude 3.9) to an earthquake of 9.9 magnitude. Enter your answer in scientific notation. energy difference = × 10If the Atlantic sea floor is spreading at 3.0 cm/yr and is now 6400 km wide, how long ago were the continents in contact? How does that time span compare to the age of the Earth?
- Grinnell Glacier is a glacier within Glacier National Park. In 1850, the area of the Grinnell Glacier was 2,329,918 square miles. By 1950, its mass had dropped to 1,336,855 square miles. How much area has been lost by the glacier between 1850 to 1950, measured in square kilometers?The theory of plate tectonics states that Earth’s plates are always in motion. What geological evidence supports this statement?You want to use radiometric dating to determine the age of a specimen. You use Isotope Z, which has a half-life of 645 years. You measure your sample and find that 1/16 of the original amount of Isotope Z is present. How old is the sample?
