Today, there are about how many people living on the earth?3.4 billion
7.5 billion
9.0 billion
6.6 billion

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, 7.5 billion

Explanation:

As per the US Census Bureau, the world population in year 2016 was approximately US  

7346235000. As per the UN estimate there were 7 billion people on planet earth in 2011 and World Bank estimates say that there were 7 billion people in year 2012

The top most populated countries in coming year (along with their population) would be  

China                            1,367,485,388

India                            1,251,695,584

The diagram below shows three types of earthquake waves, labeled A, B, and C at different time intervals.Which of these statements is correct about the three waves?
Select one:
a. Wave A and Wave B travel through Earth's interior.
b. Wave A and Wave B are absorbed by liquid medium.
c. Wave A and Wave C are absorbed by liquid medium.

Answers

On a seismogram, the first recorded waves are the P type, followed by the S type and, finally, the surface waves. Option A) A and B travel through Earth's interior.

Note: the question was answered according to the attached image. Look at the seismogram and the explanation, and if your image differs from this one, apply the same reasoning to answer the question.

What are the Seismic waves?

When rocks break during plate movements, they generate waves that propagate, moving inside the Earth and on its surface. These are the seismic waves.

What are the Types of seismic waves?

There are three types of waves,

  • P waves ⇒ consist of the transmission of the rock's compressions and rarefactions. These waves can be transmitted in the interior of the Earth.

P waves are the fastest in moving and can be transmitted through different materials, liquid or solid.

  • S waves ⇒ they move in a perpendicular direction to the disturbance propagation direction. These waves can also be transmitted in the interior of the Earth.

S wavesare slower and can not be transmitted through liquid masses.

  • Surface waves  ⇒ They can only propagate through the most superficial layers of the Earth. Their amplitude decrease with depth.

Surface waves are the slowest ones.

Due to the difference in the speed, the first recorded waves on a seismograph during an earthquake are the P waves, followed by the S waves, and finally, the surface waves.

The difference in waves' speed is used to determine the location of the earthquake focus and the structures of Earth.

As waves move through different materials, they change their speed. This change leads scientists to know what type of masses they are going through.

Following the waves from earthquake focus and recording their travel speed is helpful to determine the structures of Earth's interior.

The provided seismogram shows,

A- P waves ⇒ Transmitted in the interior of the Earth ⇒ first ones to be recorded. They are absorbed by liquid and solid medium.

B- S waves ⇒ Transmitted in the interior of the Earth ⇒ second ones to be recorded. They are absorbed by solid medium.

C- Surface waves ⇒ Transmitted in the syperficial layers of the Earth ⇒ last ones to be recorded. They are the slowest ones.

According to this information, we can assume that the correct option is a. Wave A and Wave B travel through Earth's interior.

The volume of a pond being studied for the effects of acid rain is 35 kiloliters (kL). There are 1,000 liters (L) in 1 kL and 1 mc032-1.jpg 106 microliters (mL) in 1 L. What is the volume of this pond in microliters?

Answers

The volume of a pond being studied for the effects of acid rain is 35 kiloliters (kL). There are 1,000 liters (L) in 1 kL and 1 x 10^6 microliters (mL) in 1 L.

35 kL (1,000 L/ 1kL) (
1 x 10^6 microliters / 1 L) = 3.5 x 10^10 microliters

The volume of this pond in microliters is

A radioactive nuclide is used to detect eye tumors. An atom of this radionuclide contains 15 protons, 15 electrons, and 17 neutrons. Which is symbol of this radionuclide?

Answers

The answer is phosphorus-32.

We know that the atom contains 15 protons, 15 electrons, and 17 neutrons.
To conclude of which element this radionuclide is, we need to know an atomic number of the element. The atomic number of the element is the number of proton in the nucleus of the atom. If the number of protons is 15, then the atomic number is 15. The element with atomic number 15 is phosphorus (according to the periodic table).
To conclude which phosphorus isotope this radionuclide is we need to know the mass number of the element. The mass number of the element is the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. If the number of protons is 15 and the number of neutrons is 17, then the mass number is 17 + 15 = 32.
Thus, this radionuclide is phosphorus-32.
Knowing that the number of protons of an element is equivalent to its atomic number, it can be determined from the periodic table of elements that this radionuclide is phosphorus. Since the number of its neutrons is 17, it can also be determined that its atomic mass is n + p = 15 + 17 = 32. This means the isotope is phosphorus-32.

Which method can be used to make a reliable guess that a victim was under 17 years old?A) look for flat-bladed incisors
B) look for presence or absence of wisdom teeth
C) multiply the internal distance in centimeters between the coronoid processes by the external distance in centimeters between the jaw angles(mandibular angles)
D) look for shovel shaped incisors
(It's not C)

Answers

Answer:

B) look for presence or absence of wisdom teeth

Explanation:

The only way to make a reliable guess if a victim was under 17 years old is by looking if he already had the wisdom teeth, this teeth are located in the back of the mouth, and are the third molars that humans develop after the age of 17 or 18 years on average, some could develop them after.

B-Look for the presence or absenceof wisdom teeth
