Which form of precipitation is likely to occur when a layer of air with temperature above freezing overlies a subfreezing layer near the ground?
freezing rain. hail is caused by gusts of air repeatedly blowing precipitation back into the atmosphere, where it acquires a new layer of H2O. so in this case it is not likely to occur.
Is the asthenosphere relatively cool and rigid shell that overlies the lithosphere?
Yes, the cool and rigid shell is the asthenosphere.
What do tectonic plates float on?
They are floating on the outer core
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle?
The high pressure that allows diamonds to form in the Earth's mantle comes from the weight of overlying rocks and minerals pressing down on carbon deposits deep within the Earth. This pressure, combined with high temperature, causes the carbon atoms to crystallize and form diamonds over millions of years.
What layer of the earth forms the earths plates?
Tectonic plates are floating on the magma (semi-molten rocks) of the mantle layer. Therefore, they form the crust layer of the Earth.
Which form of precipitation is likely to occur when a layer of air with temperature above freezing overlies a subfreezing layer that is near the ground?
Sleet

What is the membrane that shapes the cornea?
Bowman's layer overlies the cornea.
What is the area on the anterior chest that overlies the heart and great vessels?
precordium
Tectonic plates float on what?
The tectonic plates float on the lithosphere. This overlies the asthenosphere.
What feature is formed when a sedimentary rock overlies a nonsedimentary rock layer?
Unconformity
What is the venous sinus that overlies the brain superiorly?
The superior sagittal sinus overlies the brain superiorly and runs within the falx cerebri. It drains blood from the superior aspects of the brain towards the confluence of sinuses.
What feature is formed when a sedimentary rock layer overlies a nonsedimentary rock layer?
Unconformity
The economic dichotomy that occurs in countries where a modern commercial economy overlies a subsistence economy is called?
dualism
What is the cardiac mark on a spider?
An elongate midline mark on the anterior, dorsal surface of the abdomen which overlies the heart
