What would a forecaster find most helpful to determine the climate of one area?

A forecaster would find historical climate data, such as temperature and precipitation patterns, satellite images, and atmospheric conditions most helpful in determining the climate of an area. These factors can help predict weather patterns and trends in that specific region.


Evaluate the age of rocks You find three undisturbed rock layers The middle layer is 120 million years old What can you say about the ages of the layers above and below it?

The layer above the 120 million-year-old layer must be younger, and the layer below must be older. So, the layer above the middle layer will be younger than 120 million years, and the layer below the middle layer will be older than 120 million years.


Where would I find the oldest rock on the ocean floor?

The oldest rock on the ocean floor can be found in the central parts of the ocean basins, particularly in regions known as abyssal plains. These rocks are generally around 200 million years old or older.


The daughter isotope is 87.5 percent if the half-life of the isotope is 150 million years how old is the sample?

To find the age of the sample, we need to determine how many half-lives have passed based on the daughter isotope percentage. Since the daughter isotope is 87.5% present, it means 12.5% has decayed from the parent isotope. Since 1 half-life would result in 50% decay, we can divide 12.5% by 50% to get 0.25 half-lives. Therefore, the sample is approximately 150 million years (half-life) x 0.25 = 37.5 million years old.


Why do we not find coal deposits in rock greater than about 443 million years old?

Coal forms from the accumulation of plant material in swampy environments, which decomposes and transforms over time. The lack of coal deposits in rocks older than about 443 million years is due to plate tectonics and the movement of continents, which have caused older coal-bearing rocks to be buried too deep, where the heat and pressure have transformed them into other types of rocks.

Angiosperms were in bloom that long ago, so you would certainly find seeds.


Would you expect to find dinosaur bones in a rock that was 250 million years old?

No. Dinosaurs did not appear until aout 230 million years ago. You could, however, still find fossils of other animals.


How many years would it be in one million months?

To determine how many years are in one million months, we need to consider the conversion factors involved. There are 12 months in a year. Therefore, to find the number of years in one million months, we divide one million by 12. This calculation results in approximately 83,333.33 years in one million months.


Why would it be helpful to find a million year old rock?

It would not be helpful (unless you just happened to need a rock for something) because the earth is about 4.6 billion years old, and there is much older rock, so there is nothing particularly notable about one that is a million years old. In certain special circumstances, it could be used to put an upper limit on the age of something. For example, a million year old rock that had been carved into the shape of a horse would mean that it had, necessarily, been carved less than a million years ago.


Would you find dinosaur fossils in a rock that is 250 million years old?

Yes, it is possible to find dinosaur fossils in rocks that are 250 million years old because dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which began around 252 million years ago. Fossils of early dinosaurs or their relatives could potentially be found in rocks from this time period.

What percent is 1 million over 300 million?

To find the percentage of 1 million over 300 million, you would divide 1 million by 300 million, which equals 0.00333333333. To express this as a percentage, you would multiply by 100 to get 0.3333333333%. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this would be approximately 0.33%.
