What is on the 6th grade 9 weeks test?
qualitative or quantitative. earths interior geology water cycle rock cycle describe ring of fire earths boundries.... convergent,transform, divergent types of stress, tension, shearing, and compression that's pretty much it
What place on the earth's surface has the lowest air pressure?
lol
How big is uranis?
Uranus has the surface area of 15.91 Earths. It has the volume of 63.086 Earths. It has the mass of 14.536 Earths. Its diameter is 4.007 times that of Earth. See the related link for more information.
Explain how scientists use seismic waves to map the earth's interior?
scientists use seismic waves to map earths interior by seismographs that measure the times at witch seismic waves arrive at different distances from an earth quake.
What is earths surface area in scientific notation?
Area of a sphere is (4) pi x r2. Since the earth's radius is about 6400 km then Area = (4) x pi x (64002) = 515,000,000 = 5.15 x 108 square kilometers
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
Which layer of the Earths atmosphere is the pressure inferred to be 1.0 million atmospheres?
Stiffer mantle.
Why does the earths interior have to be studied indirectly?
the heat and pressure in the interior is not designed to sustain human life
If holes drilled sveral kilometers into earths crust provide direct evidence about earths interior in the form of what?
Rock samples
What prevents geologists from studying earths interior?
Depth, temperature and pressure barrier.
WHAT IS EARTHS INFERRED PRESURE AT A DEPTH OF 3500 KM BELOW THE SURFACE?
The inferred pressure at a depth of 3500 km below the Earth's surface is estimated to be around 1.3 million times atmospheric pressure at sea level. At such depths, the immense weight of the overlying rock layers causes this high pressure.
Is earths interior hot or cold?
The earths interior is cold
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from within the Earth creates these currents, leading to the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
What part of the earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plated to move?
It is the mantle that is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core creates these currents, which drive the movement of the rigid plates on the Earth's surface.
Which combination of temperature and pressure is inferred to occur whitin earths stiffer mantle?
High temperature and high pressure are inferred to occur within Earth's stiffer mantle. As depth increases in the mantle, both temperature and pressure increase. This combination of high temperature and pressure allows for the solid rock to exhibit ductile behavior, resulting in the flow of solid material over long periods of time.
What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
What happens to pressure as you move outward from earths interior?
Pressure decreases as you move outward from Earth's interior. This decrease is due to the weight of the rock layers above exerting less force as you move towards the surface. The pressure gradient is part of the reason why we have different layers within the Earth.
