What else can I help you with?
What does the asthenosphere contain?
The asthenosphere contains ultramafic rock that is ductile due to the extreme heat and pressure it experiences.
Why the inner core solid despite its extremely high temperature?
The inner core is solid due to the extreme pressure at its center, which compresses the iron and nickel into a solid state even at high temperatures. The inner core's solid nature allows it to maintain its structure and resist the extreme temperatures present in the Earth's core.
What two forces are needed to create a metamorphic rock?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary and older metamorphic rocks that are introduced to extreme temperature and pressure. Because of the extreme temperature and pressure, rocks go through a significant chemical or physical change, turing them into metamorphic rocks.
What keeps inner core in the phase?
The high pressure at the center of the Earth keeps the inner core in a solid phase, despite the extreme temperatures. The pressure prevents the iron in the inner core from melting, maintaining its solid structure.
What layer of the earth has a temperatures reaching up to 11000 degrees Fahrenheit?
The inner core of the Earth is the hottest layer, with temperatures reaching up to 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, despite the extreme temperatures, due to the immense pressure at that depth.
Are temperatures extreme in space because there is no air?
No because the temperatures in space are extreme because there is no gravity in space.
Which forms when exposed to extreme temperatures pressure?
When exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure, rocks can metamorphose into new forms such as gneiss, schist, and marble. These changes occur due to the re-crystallization of minerals within the rock under high heat and pressure conditions.
Why do objects in space experience extreme temperatures?
Objects in space experience extreme temperatures in space becuase space is a vacuum.
What does the asthenosphere contain?
The asthenosphere contains ultramafic rock that is ductile due to the extreme heat and pressure it experiences.
What Temperatures on the Moon are extreme because there is no?
Atmosphere.
Temperatures on the Moon are extreme because there is no?
Atmosphere
Is human life possible on planet jupiter?
No, because there is no surface to Jupiter, it is a gaseous planet with nowhere to land a spacecraft. Temperatures and pressure on Jupiter are also very extreme.
Could astronauts survive the extreme temperatures?
Extreme temperatures where?
Why are the temperatures on each of the other planets more extreme than the temperatures on earth?
because there isn't an atmosphere
What produces high grade metamorphism?
Extreme pressure and temperatures, such as those found at the base of a thickened crust.
What produces high-grade metamorphism?
Extreme pressure and temperatures, such as those found at the base of a thickened crust.
What planet has extreme temperatures because it has no atmosphere?
Jupiter(: <----WRONG! It is Mercury.
