What is the process called that entails large portions of the earth's mantle to be adrift on the molten interior of the planet?

Plate tectonics is the all-encompassing geologic theory explaining the movement of tectonic plates. The fact that the mantle is atop the liquid outer core is due to differences in the densities of the material which compose each layer. The mantle is composed of minerals which are less dense than the liquid iron/nickel outer core on which it rests.

What is a drift bottle?
a bottle containing a record of the time and place at which it was set adrift in the ocean for supplying when recovered data to aid in determining the circulation of surface waters in the ocean -called also floater
Why will you dehydrate more quickly if you drink seawater instead of fresh water?
Salt will pull the water content from the cells it encounters. This process, called osmosis, is the reason why bottles of pills and other containers that need to stay dry have little packets of silica in them. The silica (like sodium) leeches the water from its environment.
What happens to the mass of an element during beta decay?
In beta minus decay (as opposed to beta plus decay), the ejected electron will leave the nucleus and the decay event at fairly high kinetic energy. The actual energy will depend on which atom underwent the beta decay. That means there are a range of energies possible. This electron will scatter (collide) and lose energy, and then, having lost much of its kinetic energy, it will just end up "adrift" as a static charge, and finally it will go to ground.
How deep is one atmosphere?
One climate is a unit of tension that is equivalent to the typical environmental strain adrift level on The planet. It is characterized as 101,325 Dad (1,013.25 hPa), which is identical to 1,013.25 millibars, 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi1 The profundity of one climate in water relies upon the thickness of the water, which differs with temperature and saltiness. Notwithstanding, an unpleasant estimation is that one environment of tension is brought about by the heaviness of a section of freshwater of roughly 10.3 m (33.8 ft) or a segment of seawater of around 10 m (32.8 ft)123 This implies that a jumper in freshwater would encounter a strain of around 2 climates (1 atm of air in addition to 1 atm of water) at a profundity of 10.3 m, and a jumper in seawater would encounter a tension of around 2 environments at a profundity of 10 m. For 10 extra m of profundity in seawater, the strain increments by about another atmosphere34 I trust this answers your inquiry. To get more familiar with the environment and its consequences for water pressure, you can look at the web indexed lists that I found for you.
Why is ocean water bad for you?
There are two distinct problems with the consumption of salt in salt water. # Sodium from salt is absorbed into the bloodstream, and the thicker blood causes an increase in blood pressure. # Salt water, or water with any dissolved substance, is more difficult for the body to process. The body may not be able to absorb much water, or could actually throw off water to carry the salt out of the body. This can lead to dehydration.
