How do the layers of the earth work?
The various layers of atmosphere protect us. They protect us from the UV rays, Control the temperature etc.
What are the two physical layers of earth?
The two densest physical layers of the earth are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
What two layers of the earth are densest?
The two densest physical layers of the earth are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
How do the layers of the earth work together?
The Earth is NOT an inert lump of rock flying round in space, but a very DYNAMIC system. The core of the Earth is hot liquid metal ( iron/nickel) mwhich rotates counter-clockwise to Earth's rotation. It also gives the Earth its magnetism *compass points). Outside the core the mantle, which convects, like water in a kettle, but much more slowly. This convection is driven by the heat of the core. The convecting mantle in turn moves the tectonic plates, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean currents etc., The ocean currents form part of the hydro-sphere, which overlaps with the bio sphere ( all living matter). , which in turn is overlapped by the atmosphere. Then the stratosphere , and the ionosphere. From the hydro sphere outwards the Sun through gravity and radiation drives the whole system. The Sun through radiation gives us light and heat. The light radiation drives photosynthesis for plants to absorb CO2, and release oxygen. The are similar cycles for carbon and nitrogen. The Sun's gravitational attraction keeps Earth on its orbital track, otherwise we would 'fly-off' into outer space, and Earth would die, no sunlight. Also we rotate once a day to give us night and day . Our angle of rotation is angled at about 23 degrees and decreasing, this gives us our seasons. This axial angle of 23 degrees is currently decreasing to about 21 degrees and will then increas to about 28 degrees; it is called precession. It will affect climate change, and the polar ice caps , currently receding. Also our orbital track about the Sun is an ellipse which widens to nearly circular and then slims to a very narrow ellipse. This ellipse does not close up every year , but slightly overlaps. The Moon coupled with the Sun gives us our ocean tides. The mechanics of which are quite complicated, but understood. There is a lot more going on in/on Earth, that I have not mentioned. I leave you to try and find out for yourself. I hope from this, you understand that natural events, climate change included, on Earth are driven by many different forces, of which mankind has no control , but is only just beginning to understand. A lot of these events have been observed on other Solar System planets, the Martian ice caps changing size. The orbit of Mercury overlapping etc., The Earth is no different. If we lived on an inert lump of rock , no seasons, , no night and day, NOTHING!!!!!
What are the two physical layers of the earth are densest?
The two densest physical layers of the earth are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
Why are the layers of earth important?
Different layers of atmosphere protect us. They do it by blocking the unwanted radiations of the sun.
Which of the two images of the earth's layers is to scale?
Earth Sciences
Does the Earth's mantle have two layers?
yes
What are the two mechanical layers of earth?
lithosphere and asthenosphere
What are the names of the two layers of the earth and what are they made of?
lava
How many layers is Earth's core divided into?
two
How does knowing about the earth's layers help us scientifically?
Knowledge is power. If we know how we can protect ozone, we will do it for sure.
