When S waves transition from a solid to a liquid, their speed decreases and eventually they vanish because S waves are unable to propagate through liquids.

is it possible for a mineral to have a prismatic habit without having any cleavage? why or why not? if yes, give an example
Natalka [282]
I previously responded affirmatively, confirming that quartz, for instance, has a hexagonal crystal structure and exhibits a prismatic form but lacks cleavage. Therefore, quartz serves as a prime example supporting this concept.

Select all the answers that apply. Types of evidence that astronomers use to estimate the age of the universe and stars include
Nostrana [330]

The applicable answers include;

  1. Movement of galaxies
  2. The Sun's chemical makeup.

The speed of light and the duration it takes to travel between various points in the universe allows scientists to estimate the ages of distant stars and galaxies. Due to the expansive scale of the universe, it takes years for light to journey from one galaxy to another. Understanding the light's speed and the time taken for it to travel from a remote celestial object, alongside geometric calculations and brightness assessments, enables us to approximate the celestial body's age. A star's age can also be ascertained through its elemental composition. Young stars predominantly consist of lighter elements like helium, while older stars contain a greater proportion of heavier elements such as iron, resulting from the fusion of lighter elements into heavier ones at the core of the sun.




The applicable answers include;

  1. Radiometric dating of rocks
  2. Fossil evidence
  3. Gradual geological processes

Radiometric dating refers to employing the half-life of naturally occurring decaying elements like carbon-14 to determine the age of fossils or rocks. The slow creation of rocks, including the lithification of sedimentary rock or the transformation of rocks, is likewise used to estimate the Earth's age by examining the developmental stage of the rocks and extrapolating their age through calculations.
