Answer:

    The core corresponds to almost one third of the entire earth mass. It is mainly composed of iron and nickel metals. Therefore, the nucleus can also be called nife due to the presence of these two chemical elements.

This layer is divided into inner and outer core. The outer core temperature ranges from 2,900 to 5,100 km, is more fluid and its temperatures range from 3,000 ° C to 3,800 ° C. The inner core is 5,100 to 6,370 km and is solid.

In 2013 alone, scientists were able to pinpoint the core temperature of the Earth, which can reach 6,000 ° C, the same as the sun.

According to scientists, the temperature of the earth's core is so high that iron can be brought into liquid state. The material, however, returns to solid state as a result of pressure, which causes it to group together again.

There's two main reasons why geologists think that the Earth's core is made out of iron:

1. The seismic waves that travel through the core are moving at a velocity that depends on the properties of the material the waves travel through, and the best fit in this case is the Iron (Fe).
2. The iron is the most abundant metal in the universe.

Thousands of years from now, a continental plate begins to collide with an oceanic plate. which of the following landforms would
gregori [183]
As the two plates collide,the denserr oceanic plate will subduct under the less dense continential plate, causing the continential plate to arch up and form a mountain range.

Let's look into it one by one:

A. An underwater mountain range will will run along the boundary on the oceanic plate. - This is false.

As the oceanic plate subducts under the continential plate, there is no chance for the denser material to accumulate while subducting. What would be find instead is ocean trench.

B. A mountain range will form in the middle of the continental plate. - This is false.

Although pressure will be applied and there would be stress accumulating on the continential plate, the middle is very unlikely to be affected.

C. A mountain range will run along the boundary on the continental plate. - This is true.

As the subduction happens, the continential plate will accumulate as it is less dense. The rock would fold up to form mountain ranges. For example, Rockies is one off the mountain range along the plate.

D. A chain of islands will form along the boundary of the oceanic plate. - This is false.

Similarly to A. it is not possible for the plate to accumulate when it slides under the other plate.

Therefore the answer is C. A mountain range will run along the boundary on the continental plate.

Hope it helps!
