The layers of earth's geosphere are defined based on <u>chemical</u> <u>composition</u> and <u>physical properties</u>.

Chemical composition and physical properties are used to categories the strata that make up the geosphere. The layer of Earth comprised of solid rock and other hard materials is known as the geosphere. But it's also a good idea to start thinking about the geosphere from the stratosphere.

It is easiest to think of the geosphere as any portion of the solid, physical Earth that is not the hydrosphere (such as the water found in oceans, lakes, and rivers) or the atmosphere (the layer of gases that separates the ground from space). The crust, which characterizes the earth's rigid outer layer, is often used interchangeably with the term geosphere.

Which feature is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
slavikrds [6]
The features that result as a form of a glacier carving out rock and forms into the landscape over which it slides are called cirques. When a glacier moves it erodes the surface of the earth beneath it. In this process of erosion large boulders and very small pebbles all get caught up in the path of the glacier and move along with it. This moment causes deep depressions into the earth, changing the landscape. The deposition of rocks and silt from a melting glacier also changes the form of the land over which the glacier moves.

andre [41]

Answer:

Student C.

Explanation:

The student C statement is correct about the disappearing of Saturn's rings. The main reason of disappearing of Saturn's rings is the sloping of the Saturn planet. Saturn has its own orbit in which he revolve around the sun, During its movement, the orbit takes it to a location where the planet seems to tip just enough so that the rings slowly seem to be disappearing. The view of student A is incorrect because the ring is not made of methane gas, it is made of large pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons. The view of Student B is also incorrect because there is not just the ice coated dust particle but also pieces of rocks which reflect the light not refracted.
