aluminum that's aluminum for the brits

aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, it is never found free in nature. All of the earth's aluminum has combined with other elements to form compounds. Two of the most common compounds are alum, such as potassium aluminum sulfate and aluminum oxide About 8.2% of the earth's crust is composed of aluminum."

energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles. in other words, it is heat that is tranfered through air, rather that through solids. example: the sun heating earth.

The inner core of the Earth is solid because of the immense pressure it experiences due to the overlying layers. Despite the high temperatures, the pressure prevents the inner core from melting. The high pressure keeps the iron and nickel in the inner core in a solid state.

A seismologist. Names, I'm not so good at.

One possible indicator that Earth is not a sphere is the perception that the horizon appears flat when observed from ground level over long distances. Additionally, some flat Earth proponents argue that lack of noticeable curvature in the horizon suggests a non-spherical Earth.

No.... better than that I'll tell you why, they don't know what is going to happen, the seas may or may not rise and there will be massive flooding, or not. I don't think anyone has quite made a decision on it just yet, of course someone might like to tell me different.....

The inner core of the Earth is estimated to have temperatures ranging from 5,700°C to 6,000°C (10,300°F to 10,800°F). This extreme heat is primarily due to the immense pressure from the layers of the Earth above compressing the core's iron and nickel materials.

density stratification

If there were such a thing it would not be soft, it would be liquid, and would be called magma. There really is no completely molten layer of Earth except for the outer core which is composed primarily of liquid iron along with some nickel and other trace elements.

Convection cells of magma, circular currents of heating and cooling which increases (cooling) or decreases (heating) density. The Circular motion pulls the plates (away )apart at one point which results with a counter motion of the plates "pushing" into other plates which pushes into another plate so on and so forth.

Three. Tri- means three so there would be three in a trio

The inner core is made of nickel and iron.

When the continents were all together, they were called supercontinents. The Earth is thought to be 4.6 billion years old. The oldest theorized supercontinent is Vaalbara, which may have formed 3.3 billion to 3.6 billion years ago. The oldest known supercontinent is Ur, which formed 3 billion years ago. The Kenorland supercontinent formed 2.7 billion years ago. Columbia formed 1.8 billion to 1.5 billion years ago. Rodinia formed 1.1 billion to 750 million years ago. Pannotia, which also is called the Vendian supercontinent, formed 600 million to 540 million years ago. Pangaea formed 500 million to 200 million years ago. Laurasia formed 200 million years ago. And the last supercontinent was Gondwana. But that title may be held only temporarily by Gondwana. For the future may hold possibilities of one or two supercontinents within the next millions of years.

The equator is an imaginary line around the Earth's middle, at 0 degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The equator does not have a longitude, as it is a line of reference only for latitude.

It is called the lithosphere.

That probably refers to Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is also a location in North Carolina and in Virginia.

Clay soil is one comprised of soil particles that are extremely fine (0.02mm in diameter). The particles are extremly closely packed, which does not allow much "pore space" with in the soil - making it generally anearobic in nature.

As the particles are very small the clay has a high surface area and can retain a lot of water when wet; on the flip side once it dried out it bakes hard and is difficult to rehydrate. Clay soils also shrink in volume when they dry.

Most plants will not grow in heavy clay soils which the exception of some (roses and grapes) which thrive in them.

The temperature of the inner core is estimated to be around 5,700 degrees Celsius (10,300 degrees Fahrenheit). This high temperature is due to the immense pressure from the layers of the Earth above it and the heat generated by radioactive decay.

There is not a mountain range that runs through Alabama and Maine, but Pinhoti National Recreation Trail, which is located in Alabama, does go near the Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail runs from Georgia through Maine, and contains the Appalachian Mountains.

An aquifer is a permeable layer of rock or sediment that can store and transmit water underground. Groundwater is naturally stored within the spaces in the aquifer, such as between rock or sediment grains, allowing for the trapping of water within the layer.

The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points of an area is known as the relief. It is a measure of the variation in height within a specific region, often used to describe the topography or terrain of a landscape. High relief indicates steep slopes or large variations in elevation, while low relief suggests flatter terrain.

Iron is the primary element that makes up most of Earth's core, both the inner and outer cores. This iron is primarily in a liquid state in the outer core and a solid state in the inner core due to high pressures and temperatures.

All objects transfer thermal energy by infra-red radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infra-red radiation it gives off. No particles are involved in radiation, unlike conduction and convection. This means that thermal energy transfer by radiation can even work in space, but conduction and convection cannot. One good example is the sun. Even though it is millions of kilometers away in space, we can still feel its heat. The thermal energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves.
