How can you use the Earth's density to hypothesize that the core of the Earth is composed of very dense matter?
The net density of the earth is much higher than the density of the materials that make up the crust and other portions of the planet that we can reach. There for the parts we cannot yet reach must have a much greater density, or the net density would not be as great as it is.
Is the density of a white dwarf greater or less than material on earth?
millions of times grater
Which theory below explains why the Earth is composed of three layers of varying density?
When Earth was molten, heavier materials sank to the center as lighter materials rose to the surface.
Why is the sun's mass only 300000 times the mass of Earth and how is this possible?
Because it si composed of hydrogen and helium, which are low density elements.
The process by which Earth's composition became layered in concentric spheres of progressively heavier material is known as?
density stratification
Where on earth has the highest population density?
Asia is the continent with the highest population density, Monaco is the country with the highest population density.
What earth material is Kevlar composed of?
Petroleum
Why is diamond a higher density material?
Diamond is the highest density, natural material; diamond atoms are packed more closely together than are the atoms of any other substance. As to why, when diamonds are formed in the earth's mantle under extreme pressure and extreme heat, this density is the result.
What layer of the earth has the highest density and temperature?
The Core .
What on earth is the human population density the highest?
The human population density is highest in cities and urban areas where people live in close proximity to one another. Countries with large populations and limited land area, such as India, Bangladesh, and Japan, typically have some of the highest population densities in the world.
Which layer of Earth has the highest density and temperature?
the core for my plato users
How does density change between the different layers of earth?
The deeper you get into the earth, the more weight you have above you. This results in pressure that increases the density of the material below.
What happens to the temperature and density of the material in the earth?
When the material gets closer to the core it gets hotter and more dense.
How can you use the Earth's density to hypothesize that the core of the Earth is composed of very dense matter?
The net density of the earth is much higher than the density of the materials that make up the crust and other portions of the planet that we can reach. There for the parts we cannot yet reach must have a much greater density, or the net density would not be as great as it is.
Is the earth dense than the sun?
Overall yes, much of the sun's volume is gaseous material which is much lighter than the rock and metal that the earth is composed of. The density of Earth is 5.56 g/cm3 whereas the sun is 1.4 g/cm3 the earth is the most dense object in our Solar System (as far as we know)
What is the best explanation for Saturn's density being less than the Earth's?
The Earth is composed primarily of rock and metal, in either solid or liquid state. Saturn is primarily composed of gases such as Hydrogen and Helium. This is why.
What is the highest abundant magnetic material on earth?
The Iron at the Earth's core is magnetic and is the most abundant, at the earth's crust, Lodestone is the most abundant naturally occurring magnetic material.
