Which of the following can be caused by excessive pressure from overlying structures over a cavern?
sinkholes
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the pressure as you travel toward the center of the earth?
Pressure increases as you travel toward the center of the Earth due to the weight of the overlying rock and material pushing down. The high pressure at the Earth's core is believed to be extreme, over 360 GPa.
Where will the atmospheric pressure greater at the base of the mountain or at the top why?
The atmospheric pressure will be greater at the base of the mountain because pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the weight of the overlying air. This means that as you climb higher up a mountain, the pressure will decrease.
If the center of the earth is its hottest part why is it solid?
The center of the Earth is hot due to the immense pressure from overlying rock layers, not because of sunlight or other external heat sources. The pressure keeps the inner core solid despite the high temperatures.
Why is Jupiter made of liquid metallic hydrogen?
Jupiter is a very massive planet composed mostly of hydrogen. It is massive enough that below a certain depth the pressure from the overlying layers is enough to convert the hydrogen into its liquid metallic state.
Which of the following places has the highest atmospheric pressure?
The lowest level of the deepest mine (In South Africa), will have the highest atmospheric pressure. But because of the forced ventilation and cooling systems needed, the air pressure at the lowest levels of the mine will not represent natural atmospheric pressures. [unless the ventilation systems fail!}
What the following can be caused by excessive pressure from overlying structures over a cavern?
Excessive pressure from overlying structures can cause collapse of the cavern, leading to sinkholes or subsidence. It can also potentially lead to the rupture of the cavern roof, resulting in a cave-in or collapse. Additionally, it may trigger seismic activity within the cavern or surrounding areas.
What generates the pressure required for metamorphism?
Pressure required for metamorphism is generated by the overlying rock layers or tectonic forces exerted on the Earth's crust. These forces cause compression, which leads to an increase in pressure within the rock, ultimately resulting in metamorphic changes. Additionally, the weight of overlying rocks contributes to the pressure required for metamorphism.
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than the earths surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earth's core than on the earth's surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
Why does the inner core receive the greatest amount of pressure?
There is pressure within the earth due to the overlying material that the earth is formed from. The deeper within the earth you go, the greater the amount of overlying material pushing down due to gravity and so the greater the pressure. As the inner core has the largest amount of overlying material pushing down upon it, it experiences the greatest pressure.
The Pressure in the abyssal zone does what?
The pressure in the abyssal zone increases with depth due to the weight of the overlying water. It can reach extreme levels, enough to compress gases and crush most structures. Deep-sea organisms in this zone have adapted to survive under these high-pressure conditions.
What is the weight of the overlying of air?
The weight of the overlying air, also known as air pressure, is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) at sea level. This pressure decreases with increasing altitude as the weight of the air above decreases.
Pressure ulcers are usually associated with skin overlying where?
The skin overlying bony prominences is the most prone to developing ulceration.
Heat from earth's interior and pressure from overlying rock transform the remains of marine sediments into?
rock
Does fluid pressure remains the same at all depths?
No, fluid pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the overlying fluid pushing down. This is known as hydrostatic pressure.
When your hot water tank heats up it will start to leak out the pressure valve Why?
1- excessive pressure 2- excessive temperature
What causes excessive pressure in a hot water heater?
Excessive pressure in a hot water heater can be caused by a buildup of steam due to overheating or a malfunctioning pressure relief valve.
