Where does molten rock cool slowly?
Molten rock cools slowly underground, in places like magma chambers beneath volcanoes or within Earth's mantle. This slow cooling allows larger mineral crystals to form, creating igneous rocks like granite.
Does a basketball have a lot of surface to volume ratio?
No. A sphere has the smallest surface to volume ratio possible and a basketball is nearly spherical in shape (it has surface dimpling and seams).
How big is earth in realation to other planets?
In terms of Radius and diameter; Mercury's radius and diameter (at the equator) = 0.3825 x that of Earths (or 38.25%) Venus's radius and diameter = 0.9488 x Earths (nearly 95%) (Earth's radius = 6378km, diameter = 12756km) Mars = 0.5323 x Earths (53.2%) Jupiter = 11.21 x Earths Saturn = 9.45 x Earths Uranus = 4.01 x Earths Neptune = 3.88 x Earths In terms of Volume; Mercury's volume = 0.056 x Earths (or 5.6% of Earths) Venus' volume = 0.857 x Earths (85.7%) (Earths volume = 1.08 x 1012 cubic km (km3)) Mars' volume = 0.151 x Earths (15.1%) Jupiter's volume = 1321.3 x Earths Saturn's volume = 763.59 x Earths Uranus' volume = 63.086 x Earths Neptune's volume = 57.74 x Earths
Does changes to earths surface happen fast or slowly or both?
yes. the grand canon, which developed relatively quickly, took about 6 million years, having been eroded, principally, by the waters of the Colorado river. However, it reached nearly to its present depth by about 1.2 million years ago. The sun, Wind, and rain, of course, have played their parts as well.
How many times does Jupiter fit into Earth?
Jupiter is much larger than the planet Earth, so it would not fit into Earth even once. Conversely, 1300 Earths can fit inside Jupiter.
Which ocean covers nearly half the earths surface?
The Pacific Ocean contains about half of the world's ocean water.
Where is nearly 90 of the earths ice located?
Antarctica
Where do the Suns rays hit Earths surface nearly at right angles?
The Sun's rays can hit Earth's surface at a right angle to the surface, depending on the season, anywhere between the tropics (i.e., between 23.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south), at noon, when the Sun is highest in the sky.
Distinguish between a primary wave and a secondary wave?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
Which sphere of earth system contains nearly all of earths mass?
Troposphere
What are location of a volcanoes?
Nearly all of them are located in chains stretching across the earth, often for many thousands of miles. Geologists believe that this distribution is related to a theory of the development of the earths surface called plate tectonics.
The first layer of the earths atmosphere touching earths surface?
mesosphere
Is there more land or water on earth?
There is more water on Earth than land (surface area). Water covers nearly 71% of the Earth's surface. While Earth's surface is mostly water, Earth is nearly all rock. Just 0.5% of the planet by weight is water. -Thong Tran
The global ocean blankets nearly percent of Earth's surface.?
Ocean water makes up about 71% of the Earth’s surface.
What is is The layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering and covering nearly all of earths land surface called?
The layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering and covering nearly all of Earth's land surface is called regolith. Regolith is made up of various sizes of rock and mineral particles that result from the breakdown of bedrock over time due to weathering processes.
What is the nearly level land on Earth's surface called?
Plains.
WHAT ELEMENT MAKES UP NEARLY ONE PERCENT OF THE EARTHS ATMOSPHERE?
Argon makes up nearly 1% of Earth's atmosphere. It is a noble gas that is colorless, odorless, and inert.
