    2. Given that the half life of the radioisotope carbon -14 is 5730 years, it would not be useful in dating bones that are over a million years old. After 40 000 years of age less than 1% of the 14C is left in the bone and thus it is not useful for determining the exact age beyond that.…

    Montara Beach Lab Report

    This lab report is on the trip to Montara beach were we studied sediments on the coast line. In figure 1 it shows the location of Montara beach, which is located south of San Francisco near Pacifica. The purpose of the trip was to discover layers of sediment and understand the properties of them, like grain size, composite, organization and so forth. As shown in figure 2 you can see that Montara beach has quaternary sediment, meaning its sediment is younger than what its surround by. This data helps geologist determine how old the rock is and what kind of geological events have occurred to it and near it. The observations of modern processes helps to interrupt ancient events by examining the sediment and looking at the way it was deposited to show where the sediment was once from and what it will from to later on. (Figure1 & 2)…

    Saline Salt Company

    “Although the material held in solution by the water of the Gulf of Mexico is not found in combination as salts, such as produced on evaporation, but rather in the form of ions, the basic elements and the acid radicals being separated, nevertheless it is customary and convenient to consider them as combined into the form of salts. Among these, common salt, or sodium chloride, makes up the bulk of the material, being nearly 78 percent of the total mass of salt, or over 27 mille (thousand) of the salinity (which is taken as 35 in round numbers). In the accompanying table the composition of sea water salts is given in the form of such combinations, together with the permillage of each in normal seawater, and the number of short tons in a cubic mile of sea water.”…

    Biology: Key Questions

    Carbon-14 is incorporated in the tissues of plants and animals through their environment. When they die the incorporation of carbon-14 ends, and what remains in the specimen decays at a constant rate, with a half-life of 5730 years. That is, after 5730 years only half of Carbon-14 remains in the sample. (Measuring the ratio between C-14 & C-12 can give us a good idea about when an organism died.) This exponential decay continues and continues; however after about 40 000 years, less than 1% of Carbon-14 remains in the sample, so it is not useful for dating material much older than that.…

    The Water Ecosystem In The Jurassic Terrestrial Time Period

    The claim has been made that understanding trace fossils will help scientists understand the water ecosystem in the Jurassic Terrestrial time period. To understand marine deposits, scientists must look for vertebrate fossils, plant body, as well as trace fossils. This causes scientists to dig deeper in their research on fossils, which leads to motivation to discover more. By actively researching and understanding the trace fossils and their use of the water ecosystem, scientists can understand the role of the water ecosystem back in the Jurassic Terrestrial time period. In Continental Trace Fossils as the Key to Understanding Jurassic Terrestrial and Freshwater Ecosystem, scientists study and research termites, bees and their hives, and crayfish.…
