Examine the graph showing the half life of the radioactive isotope substance x. Based on this graph, what might be the best use of thos radioactive isotop? Determining the age of the objects less than 50000 years old.
Long term radioactive dating such as in dating rocks
Short term radioactive imaging such as nuclear medicine.
Determining the age of objects over 1000000 years old

Long term radioactive dating such as in dating rocks

Explanation:

If we examine the graph carefully, we will notice that the number of atoms falls to zero after about 40000 years. This is quite a long time! Many rock formations were formed thousands of years ago and their ages can only be measured by an isotope that has an equally long half life.

Hence for an isotope with such a long half-life, we can effectively measure the age of a rock formation that contains the particular isotope in question. Rocks are composed of diverse chemical isotopes which are normally used to determine the age of the rock formation. Since rocks were formed thousands of years ago, these isotopes must be capable of having a half-life of thousands of years also in order to be useful in measuring the age of rocks.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
