Earth's mantle is a rocky shell about 2,890 km (1,800 mi) thick that constitutes about 84 percent of Earth's volume. Two main zones are distinguished in the upper mantle: the inner asthenosphere composed of flowing rock in the state of plasticity, about 200 km thick, and the lowermost part of the lithosphere, composed of rigid rock, about 50 to 120 km thick. A thin crust, the upper part of the lithosphere, surrounds the mantle and is about 5 to 75 km thick. The mantle is divided into sections which are based upon results from seismology. These layers (and their depths) are the following: the upper mantle (starting at the Moho, or base of the crust around 7 to 35 km, downward to 410 km), the transition zone (410-660 km), the lower mantle (660-2891 km), and in the bottom of the latter region there is the anomalous D" layer with a variable thickness (on average ~200 km thick)

The antipodes from Belfast, Northern Ireland is a point in the Southern Ocean, south of New Zealand.

Selenite is typically formed in evaporative environments, such as deserts where water evaporates quickly, leaving behind deposits of gypsum. It can also form in caves through the slow evaporation of groundwater carrying dissolved minerals.

It may be difficult to physically hold your mouth open while headbanging due to the movements involved in both actions. However, with practice and coordination, it's possible to synchronize the two movements.

Granite forms deep underground through the cooling and solidification of molten rock, known as magma. Over time, granite can be uplifted to the surface through tectonic forces, where it is exposed to weathering and erosion. The eroded granite can then be transported and deposited as sediment, eventually becoming buried and undergoing the process of lithification to form new rock, completing the cycle.

"It auto-ignites at 465 °C (869 °F). Autoignition temperature is also dependent upon the exposure time, thus at some tests it is quoted as 525°C. Also, industrial acetone is likely to contain small amount of water which also inhibits ignition."

Hope this helps

The United States is the world's largest producer of gypsum. It has abundant natural gypsum resources, making it a leading global producer of this mineral used in construction materials.

by a mechanism called "feedback" in which an output or product of a process regulates that process. a negative feedback called "inhibition" slows or stops processes; postitive feedback speeds a process up.

you take the P1(parental) generation and pair all possible alleles up with the corresponding gene of the parents and put one horizontal and one vertical. then it is treated as if it were a multiplication table

The rise and fall of the sea, known as tides, are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on Earth's oceans. The moon's gravitational force creates two high tides and two low tides each day as Earth rotates. The sun's gravity also affects the tides but to a lesser extent.

Rocks in shallow water have less water buffer to soften their impact, making them more pronounced when stepping on. Deeper water provides a thicker layer of water between your feet and the rocks, reducing the direct pressure and discomfort. Nonetheless, walking on rocks can still be painful regardless of water depth due to their hardness and uneven surfaces.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. The primary type of fault found there is a normal fault. Normal faults occur when the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to tensional forces pulling the plates apart.

Environment and how to protect it ... that's my opinion!

Or how much the values of the world and people have decreased

eg: kids rather sit on the internet than have a family dinner!!

or just think about something creative .... But make sure its something that will leave them thinking about what you said all day.

Halite is not a member of the granite family. Halite is a mineral composed of sodium and chlorine (NaCl), commonly known as rock salt. Granite, on the other hand, is a type of igneous rock composed mainly of feldspar and quartz.

Eluviation is the process by which water or other liquid removes and transports fine particles of soil or minerals from one layer to another within the soil profile. It typically results in the accumulation of minerals such as clay, iron, and aluminum in deeper soil horizons.

A topographic map is typically used to find elevation, as it shows the contour lines indicating various elevations of the land. These maps provide a visual representation of the terrain's steepness and height above sea level. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is also commonly used to create digital elevation models (DEMs) that show elevations in a more detailed and precise manner.

Time is a measure of duration or the progression of events from the past, through the present, and into the future. It is a fundamental aspect of existence that helps us understand the sequence and duration of events.

the main groups of micro-oganisms are: fungi,

bacteria,

virus.

Some people believe that using telekinesis and your chi energy working together, you can indeed bend the elements. I have never done nor seen this, and have no reason to believe it's true.

Yes people can really earthbend. It's an amazing power to have but not many are granted this ability. I am a waterbender. I have been practicing and I can move the water. My master says I can now start learning to lift the water. I can't wait!

It's generally really hot and dry, about 30 - 35 C, but sometimes there is short rainstorms.

Nickel in the Canadian Shield is formed through magmatic processes, where nickel and other metals are concentrated in magma chambers deep within the Earth's crust. As the magma cools and solidifies, nickel-rich sulfide minerals crystallize and accumulate within the rock. Over time, geological processes such as tectonic movements and erosion may expose these nickel deposits at the surface.

The medulla oblongata is considered the most important autonomic center in the brain as it regulates vital functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. It contains control centers for both the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system.
