What if earth were smaller?
We would not be alive.
Where would you find aluminum and silicon in earth's interior?
you would find it in the crust
If earths albedo was higher but earth was farther from the sun could the earth have the same temperature?
No, both conditions would make the earth cooler.
Of what importance is the study of earths interior to man?
The study of the earth's interior is important for man to understand his environment. It also helps to predict events that may occur on the earth's surface.
How big would the earth be to people living on the moon?
Smaller.
If Earth was smaller it would have a warmer interior?
False.
What would happen if the Sun's temperature were much cooler and it was much smaller?
If the Sun's temperature were much colder and it were much smaller Earth would no longer support human life
What would the earth be like if there were no sun?
The earth would be quite a bit cooler and darker than it is now.
What would to earth if the the ocean was much smaller?
the earth would die
What would happen if the interior of the Earth cooled?
In reality, the interior of the Earth is slowly cooling. In human time perspective, however, this cooling has no impact.
What if earth were smaller?
We would not be alive.
How convection currents work in the mantle?
What forces would lead to the movement of the plates over the surface of the earth? At this time it is believed this movement results from mantle convection. Deep within the earth there is a large amount of heat coming from two sources: the magma remnants of the Great Bombardment, and radiation from radioactive elements. This heat, in accordance with the 2 ndlaw of thermodynamics, must flow to a cooler place, and subsequently rises to the surface of the Earth. If the Earth were smaller, this heat would flow by conduction, but because of the relatively large size of the Earth, convection also takes place. Thus, as in heating a pot of water on a stove, convection currents are established within the earth, which bring warm material to the surface and send cooler material to the interior.
If you were a scientist will you undertake a study of the earth's interior?
I sure would!
If you were a scientist will you undertake a study of the earth interior?
I sure would!
Where would you find aluminum and silicon in earth's interior?
you would find it in the crust
If Earth's interior was the same composition as the crust what would Earth would most likely do?
Have a lower average density.
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior eventually down?
If the mantle of the earth interior were to cool down the convection currents and plate tectonics would stop. That would mean that there would be no more earthquakes or volcanoes.
