What is the mechanical layer of Earth that has the most active convection currents

The Earth's core.

The shadow zone exists because

the mantle and core are composed of different material

P waves refract as they travel through Earth. The shadow zone exists because of seismic waves. The shadows show when the earth spins around.

What best describes Earth's north magnetic pole

Wandering with no pattern

Which is a method that scientists use to determine the composition of Earth's layers

Comparing the composition of the crust to other bodies in the solar system.

Why can diamonds form in the mantle

The weight of the rocks above the mantle results in high pressure.
Diamonds need high temperatures and pressure to form from carbon. Diamonds form in the mantle in certain zones where conditions are right for them to do so.

There just happens to be the right critical temperature-pressure-mineral environment in the mantle in certain zones for their formation.

The south pole of a compass magnet points toward

magnetic north

north pole =magnetic south

What is true about compasses

compass magnets can be deflected by earths magnetic field or other permanent magnets

If the birthrate is 10 per 1000 and the death rate is 10 per 1000 then the growth rate is

If the birthrate is 10 per 1000 and the death rate is 10 per 1000 then the growth rate is zero.

Why do scientists think Earth's core contains iron

Samples of Earth's crust contain less iron than found in meteorites, and iron is a comparatively heavy element that would have sunk into the planet when it was being formed.

Which type of fault is under compression

Reverse

Its Thrust!

The continental crust is what

The continental crust is up to 70 km thick.

Based on the information in the graph which region's population currently growing the least

Africa -apex

New crust forms

At ocean ridges

which would most likely increase the carrying capacity for humans in a certain region ( apex )

crops that grow more reliably

Select ALL the correct responses. The concept of “contained in” includes which of the following?

  • No additional interpretation or analysis is needed to determine the classification of the information.
  • Classified information is not clearly or explicitly stated in the source document.
  • Classified information comes from an authorized source into a new document.
  • A reader can deduce the classified information by performing additional interpretation or analysis.
