Explain how the relative and absoulate age of rocks and the fossil record provide evidence of earths geological history?
To determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones. With absolute age dating, you get a real age in actual years.
The relative and the absolute age of rocks and fossil records provide evidence of the earths geographic history through the use of radiometric dating methods.
The dating methods that the geologists make use of are usually based on radioactive dating.
The natural decay of the elements or the compounds that are found in the objects are used as reliable sources of information to date the history of such happenings.

a. Southwest Asian countries working together economically through trade agreements
b. Using oil wealth to increase the standard of living in the United Arab Emirates
c. Iraq invading Kuwait to gain control of the oil fields in the Persian Gulf War
d. Kuwait trades oil for technology with the United States
Answer:
D. Kuwait trades oil for technology with the United States
Explanation:
This is the best answer since oil is a very useful commodity other countries will trade other resources like technology for it.
C. is incorrect because this isn't using oil as a strategic commodity. this is just using force to get what they want.
A. is incorrect because it clearly doesn't mention trading oil.
B. is incorrect because it's not using oil strategically. Trading oil for other resources that we need is strategic.
So that leaves D which is correct.

The three main anthropogenic sources of gaseous air pollutants in the United States are soil erosion, volcanoes, and forest fires soil erosion, volcanoes, and forest fires A soil erosion, volcanoes, and energy production soil erosion, volcanoes, and energy production B industry, construction, and agriculture industry, construction, and agriculture C industry, transportation, and energy production industry, transportation, and energy production D industry, transportation, and agriculture
Answer:
C. industry, transportation, and energy production
Explanation:
Gaseous pollutants are air pollutants. More completely, we can consider that gaseous pollutants are particles of different sizes in the form of vapors that invade the atmosphere mixing with the air and being breathable by living beings, causing several problems. The main promoters of this type of pollution in the USA are the industry, transport and energy production, which pollute the air, mainly, through the burning of fossil fuels, allowing their harmful substances to be thrown into the atmosphere.
what are the pros and cons of being a planetary geologist?
Answer:
Pros include lots of travel, more cool technology, and the sense that you're involved in a field with that could save a lot of lives. Cons are they're tough jobs to get, and if you don't get one your degree isn't broadly applicable to other careers. Probably a good job for an introvert, depending on your ambition.

Explanation:
In ΔOPQ, the measure of ∠Q=90°, the measure of ∠O=5°, and PQ = 4.6 feet. Find the length of QO to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Answer: [tex]\overline{QO} =[/tex] 53.68 ft
Explanation: Since ∠Q is 90°, ΔOPQ is a right triangle. So, there are hypotenuse, opposite side and adjacent side. And there the trigonometric relations: sine, cosine and tangent.
The image of the triangle is below.
Side [tex]\overline{PQ}[/tex] is opposite to the measure of ∠O and the length required is the adjacent side to the m∠O. According to the trigonometric relations:
[tex]tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}[/tex]
Substituing:
[tex]tan(5)=\frac{4.6}{\overline{QO}}[/tex]
Using a calculator, tan(5) = 0.0875:
[tex]\overline{QO}=\frac{4.6}{0.0875}[/tex]
[tex]\overline{QO}=53.68[/tex]
The length of [tex]\overline{QO}[/tex] to the nearest tenth of a foot is 53.68 feet.

explain how the curve of the earth influence seasonal change
Answer:
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Which technique is commonly practiced in the rain forest for clearing land for farming? a crop rotation and irrigation b slash and burn farming c terrace farming d ecotourism
Answer: the correct option is B( slash and burn farming).
Explanation:
The rain forest is dense and made up of many types of broad- leave trees that are mostly evergreen. The trees form three layers or strata. The treetops form a thick canopy that prevents sunlight from reaching the forest floor. As a result, the vegetation on the forest floor is sparse. Therefore, for farmers to achieve a successful crop yield, a practice for clearing land for farming known as slash and burn farming method is used.
The slash and burn method is used in rain forest where an area is selected and the vegetation is cut down and burnt. This is to obtain a field usually called swidden that can be used for farming. After slashing( cutting) down the vegetation, it is allowed to dry and burnt. This method makes the soil fertile only for a short period of time and as a result farmers are forced to allow the farmland to fallow to renew it's fertility. One major disadvantage about this method is that it takes a long period of time(5 -15 years) to allow the land regain its lost nutrients and this can grossly interrupt both the economic and financial benefits of a farmer.

A musical concert is scheduled to start in Los Angeles in U.S.A longitude 120° west on Saturday by 4pm. At what time and day should Nigerians switch on their t.V. Sets to watch the concerts live. Longitude of Nigeria 15° east
Answer: 1 am on Sunday
Explanation:
Every distance of 15° longitude is an hour in time. This means that places that are 15° longitude apart have a time zone difference of an hour, areas that are 30° have a time zone difference of two hours and so on.
The time difference between a location in the U.S.A at longitude 120° west and Nigeria at 15° east would be:
= (120 + 15) / 15
= 9 hours
The 15 was added because Nigeria is east of the Greenwich meridian and the U.S. is west. The lines of longitude count down from the West to the East and get to zero at the Meridian. Then start again as they go east.
Areas east are also further in time than areas west so Nigeria is ahead of the U.S.
Nigeria is therefore ahead of that area by 9 hours. They would be able to watch the show at:
= 4pm + 9 hours
= 1 am on Sunday
