Question: During the time period when ammonites became extinct, what material covered half of Britain?

Answer: Water covered half of Britain during this time.

The final catastrophe occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period when all species were annihilated and the ammonites became extinct. The young ammonites lived in the plankton, near the sea surface. They ate mostly small fry as they were growing. This made them especially vulnerable to any event which upset the plankton zone.

The Cretaceous period is the ninth and longest period in the Phanerozoic eon, lasting 80 million years from 145 to 65 million years ago (mya). It followed the Jurassic period, and is the third and last period of the Mesozoic era. After it came the Cainozoic era.[1]Though famous for its land fauna, the Cretaceous sea level rose much higher than today. North America was partly covered by an epicontinental inland sea, and half of Britain was under water.

Question: What is the real purpose of the notational convention that implies summation over a set of indexed terms in a formula?

Answer: It's for formulas and equations that make no mention of the chosen basis.

In mathematics, especially in applications of linear algebra to physics, the Einstein notation or Einstein summation convention is a notational convention that implies summation over a set of indexed terms in a formula, thus achieving notational brevity.

The real purpose of the Einstein notation is for formulas and equations that make no mention of the chosen basis. For example, if L and v are as above, then and this is true for every basis. This seems unclear. In particular, L is defined as both a vector and a scalar -- e is a rank 2 tensor, and v is a rank 1 tensor.

Question: What are three main components in the type of tissue that is affected by Marfan syndrome?

Answer: The three main components in this type of tissues are fibers, ground substance, and cells.

Marfan syndrome(MFS) is a genetic disorderthat affects the connective tissue.[1] Those with the condition tend to be tall and thin, with long arms, legs, fingers, and toes.[1]

Connective tissue is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. It develops from the mesoderm. Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body, including the nervous system.

Question: What is notoriously inaccurate and is part of the multiple rocket launcher or multiple launch rocket system?

Answer: rocket artillery

The launcher is constructed using basketry. A multiple rocket launcher ( MRL) or multiple launch rocket system ( MLRS) is a type of rocket artillery system that contains multiple launchers which assembled onto a same platform, and shoots its rocket ordnance in a fashion similar to a volley gun.

Unguided rocket artillery is notoriously inaccurate and slow to reload compared to artillery. A multiple rocket launcher helps compensate for this with its ability to launch multiple rockets in rapid succession, which coupled with the large kill zone of each warhead can easily deliver saturation fire over a target area.


Question: When would the Via Devana road in England have been constructed?

Question: Who was the first person to chart the inlet that nearly cuts Admiralty Island in two?

Answer: Joseph Whidbey was the first person to chart this inlet.

It is one of the ABC islands in Alaska. The island is nearly cut in two by the Seymour Canal; to its east is the long, narrow Glass Peninsula. Most of Admiralty Island—more than 955,000 acres (3,860 km2) —is occupied by the Admiralty Island National Monument - a federally protected wilderness area administered by the Tongass National Forest.

Seymour Canal is an inlet penetrating deep into the southeastern part of Admiralty Island, Southeast Alaska, United States.[1] The inlet was first charted in 1794 by Joseph Whidbey, master of HMS Discovery during George Vancouver's 1791–95 expedition. Vancouver later named it "Seymour's Channel".[2] Two large islands are located within it: Swan Island to the north, and Tiedeman Island just to its south.


Question: What was the first principle of beauty that Hogarth described in the treatise he called his "War with the Connoisseurs"?

Answer: The first principle of beauty Hogarth describes in The Analysis of Beauty is fitness.

The Analysis of Beauty formed the intellectual centerpiece of what the historian Ernst Gombrich described as Hogarth's "grim campaign against the fashionable taste", which Hogarth himself described as his "War with the Connoisseurs". In The Analysis of Beauty Hogarth implements six principles that independently affect beauty.

The first principle of beauty Hogarth describes is fitness, which is not in itself a source of beauty, but can be described as a material cause of it. Though the account of fitness on the total beauty of an object is only moderate, it is a necessary cause. Fitness does not necessarily imply purpose.


Question: Which types of buildings share the concept of a large meeting room and square shaped room formed at right angles?

Answer: A traditional house in Japan can have partitions removed to create one large meeting room that would be walls formed at right angles.

Roofs of traditional houses in Japan are made of wood and clay, with tiles or thatched areas on top. For large gatherings, these partitions are removed to create one large meeting room. During a normal day, partitions can create much smaller and more manageable living spaces.

In addition, the most fundamental feature is a four-sided rectangular enclosure, that is, structures with walls that are formed at right angles and oriented cardinally. The traditional Chinese belief in a square-shaped universe with the four world quarters is manifested physically in its architecture.


Question: N-acylneuraminate cytidylyltransferase and Chymase are both types of what?

Answer: Enzyme

N-acylneuraminate cytidylyltransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CMAS gene. The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the activation of Neu5Ac to Cytidine 5-prime-monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac), which provides the substrate required for the addition of sialic acid.

Chymase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CMA1 gene. This gene product is a chymotryptic serine proteinase that belongs to the peptidase family S1. It is expressed in mast cells and thought to function in the degradation of the extracellular matrix, the regulation of submucosal gland secretion, and the generation of vasoactive peptides.

Question: What period of the earliest of three geologic eras of the Phanerozoic Eon witnessed the most rapid and widespread diversification of life in Earth's history?

Answer: The Cambrian period of the Paleozoic era  witnessed the most rapid and widespread diversification of life in Earth's history.

The Paleozoic (or Palaeozoic) Era ( / ˌpæl.i.əˈzoʊ.ɪk, - i.oʊ -, ˌpeɪ.li.ə -, - li.oʊ -/ pal-ee-ə-ZOH-ik, -ee-oh-, pay-lee-, -lee-oh-; from the Greek palaiós ( παλαιός ), "old" and zōḗ ( ζωή ), "life", meaning "ancient life") is the earliest of three geologic eras of the Phanerozoic Eon.

It is the longest of the Phanerozoic eras, lasting from 541 to 251.902 million years ago, and is subdivided into six geologic periods (from oldest to youngest): the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian. The Paleozoic comes after the Neoproterozoic Era of the Proterozoic Eon and is followed by the Mesozoic Era.The Paleozoic was a time of dramatic geological, climatic, and evolutionary change. The Cambrian witnessed the most rapid and widespread diversification of life in Earth's history, known as the Cambrian explosion, in which most modern phyla first appeared.


Question: The material popular in the 19th and 20th centuries for buildings, to make glass and cement, and to remove impurities from iron ore, is made up mostly of a material that has what chemical formula?

Answer: Limestone is mostly a form of calcium carbonate, which has the formula CaCO 3.

Limestone, particularly Portland limestone, became popular in the 19th and 20th centuries for building things such as churches, banks and houses. However, acid rain does slowly erode limestone. Limestone is used to make glass and cement. It is also used to make iron in a blast furnace, to remove impurities from the iron ore .

Question: What does the creator of the satisfaction view of the atonement believe regarding human sin?

Answer: Anselm speaks of human sin as defrauding God of the honor he is due.

Anselm regarded his satisfaction view of the atonement as a distinct improvement over the older ransom theory of atonement, which he saw as inadequate, due to its notion of a debt being owed to the devil.

Anselm speaks of human sin as defrauding God of the honour he is due. Christ's death, the ultimate act of obedience, brings God great honour. As it was beyond the call of duty for Christ, it is more honour than he was obliged to give. Christ's surplus can therefore repay our deficit.

Question: What dominant mechanisms, that can shape the earth’s surface through erosion, interact as a positive feedback system?

Answer: Tectonic uplift and climatic factors

Tectonic uplift and climatic factors interact as a positive feedback system, where each forcing mechanism drives the other. One of the greatest examples of this feedback between tectonic and climatic interactions may be preserved in the Himalayan front and in the development of the rain shadow effect and the Asian Monsoon .

Tectonic uplift and climate change are viewed as dominant mechanisms that can shape the earth’s surface through erosion. River terraces can be influenced by one or both of these forcing mechanisms and therefore can be used to study variation in tectonics, climate, and erosion, and how these processes interact. A series of terraces along a river.

Question: A drive or what, a miniature variety of which with a diameter of 8 cm (radius of 4 cm) would have a speed ratio of outer to inner data edge of 1.6, operating in CAV mode maintains a constant angular velocity, contrasted with a constant linear velocity?

Answer: Disk

For a miniature disc with a diameter of 8 cm (radius of 4 cm), the speed ratio of outer to inner data edge is 1.6. This means that, for example, if a disc is accessed at a constant angular velocity of ×24, the equivalent linear velocity is ×24 while accessed at the outermost edge of the data area while being ×10 at the innermost data area.

In optical storage, constant angular velocity ( CAV) is a qualifier for the rated speed of any disc containing information, and may also be applied to the writing speed of recordable discs. A drive or disc operating in CAV mode maintains a constant angular velocity, contrasted with a constant linear velocity (CLV).
