What would provide the most accurate method of determining cloud base altitude?
Laser Ceilometer
Which isotope would you use the estimate something that was about 1 million years old?
The method of uranium-lead dating.
What radioactive isotope would be best for determining the age of prehistoric human remains?
Carbon 14 - it's the element used as a standard in radio-carbon dating.
What is the relationship between radioactive isotope and radioactive dating?
In radiometric dating, the amount of a certain radioactive isotope in an object is compared with a reference amount. This ratio can then be used to calculate how long this isotope has been decaying in the object since its formation. For example, if you find that the amount of radioactive isotope left is one half of the reference amount, then the amount of time since the formation of the object would be equal to that radioactive isotope's half-life.
What are the factors determining quantum of communication?
Communication medium is often decided by what is available. If all communication methods are available, determining factors would include price, quality, and relationship to the media method presentation required.
Which of the following would be the best method for randomly determining how many eggs an imaginary bird lays in a simulation?
Rolling a six sided number cube and using the number on the top side.
What type of objects would you do carbon dating on?
On an object with unknown age but more than halflife of C
Where would I find a polonium mine?
You cannot mine polonium as the longest lived isotope, polonium-209 has a halflife of only 100 years and most isotopes of polonium have halflives measured in seconds to minutes.Traces of polonium can be found in any uranium ore as it is a daughter of uranium decay.Usable amounts of polonium are manufactured using nuclear reactors.

Which method of determining volume is more accurate -- the displacement method or by the formula length width height?
Still me... by the way, this is an 8th grade science experiment so simplicity would be nice. Thank you for your assistance in advance.
What was President Lincoln's baseline for determining how Southern voters could return to the Union after the war?
President Lincoln decided that as a baseline for Southerners to return to the US after the war, the 1860 census of voters would be the determining factor in determining his 10 % policy. This would create the method of voters equal to ten percent of the vote cast in 1860., should an oath of allegiance and form of government the US would recognize and support it.
