What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
The wave that can travel through earth and along earths surface is a SEISMIC wave.
What element is a member of the boron family and is the most abundant metal on earths surface?
aluminum
What source of energy evaporates the most water from Earths surface?
The energy from Sun is the most important.
Where is most of earths carbon located and in what form?
A majority of the earths carbon is located in the ocean.
Degradation rate of oil?
Researchers Larter, Aplin, and Larter state oil degradates at a rate of about 10 to the sixth power per year. Anaerobic oil degredation inside reservoirs near the earths surface is slightly more rapid.
Do geologists learn about earths interior by drilling holes?
No
How are petroleum and natural gas removed from the earths crust?
by drilling wells
What percent of the earths surface is the US?
100
How much of earths oceans cover earths surface?
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
Does the outer core cover earths surface?
No the crust covers earths surface
Why are map projecters needed?
to draw the earths surface.
What is the deepest a drilling rig has ever penetrated the Earths interior?
12.3 km
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
What is borehole drilling?
Borehole drilling is the drilling of a narrow shaft into the Earths surface, they're constructed for a range of different purposes such as the extraction of water or other liquids such as oil, and also natural gases. They're often drilled also as part of a geotechnical investigations and environmental site assessments. Hundreds of years ago it was carried out by sheer brute force using a rod that was called a bore. Nowadays though we have borehole drilling rigs that are capable of drilling to much greater depths.
How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?
Weathering and erosion shape earths surface by changing earths surface by having extreme forces that change earth.
How are ores beneath earths surface removed?
ore deep beneath earth's surface is mined by drilling holes in the earth's crust so that mines can be built for excavation in which the ore is generally mined near but not to close to the base of a dormant volcano as not to activate the volcano.
