Modern depositional rates of carbonate sediment in the Caribbean Sea are 1.55cm/1,000yrs. Given this rate, how long would it take to deposit a 100 m thick layer of limestone?

In order to deposit 100 meters of limestone layer, it will take 6,451,600 years

Explanation:

Given that,

The rate of deposition carbonate sediments is 1.55 cm in 1,000 years

⇒ 1.55 cm = 1,000 years

⇒ 1 cm =

⇒ 1 cm = 645.16 years

∵ 1 m = 100 cm

∴ 100 m = 100 × 100 cm

⇒ 100 m = 10,000 cm

So, the time it will take for carbonate to deposit 100 m thick layer of limestone will be-

⇒ 10,000 cm (100 meter) =  645.16 × 10,000 years

⇒ 100 meters = 6,451,600 years

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.

i believe that if you say you can, you cant and if you say you can't your right. i believe i can do anything i set my mind to. i've applied this with my everyday life. it me get motivated to do stuff.for example, i apply this to do school. if i believe i can finish a whole class in a couple of week's i will be motivated to do the class until i finish it, and if i believe i can't, i will get distracted and do other stuff besides doing my work. it changed me by believing i can accomplish anything i set my mind to.
