Layers that are less dense, such as the crust<span>, float on layers</span> that are denser, such as the mantle. Both oceanic crust and continental crust are less thick than the mantle, but the marine crust is denser than continental crust. This is partly why the continents are at a higher elevation than the ocean floor.

Semmy [17]

Answer: Carbon

Explanation:Carbon is the element released by volcanic outgassing,animal respiration and flatulence,burning of fossil fuels and the metamorphism of limestone.

Volcanic outgassing is the release of carbon into the atmosphere mainly in the form of carbon monoxide.

Animal respiration and flatulence are process taking place in animals which leads to the release of carbon dioxide.

Burning of fossil fuels is the use of heat to breakdown fossil fuels such as petroleum leading to the release of Carbon.

Limestone metamorphism is the breakdown of limestone which leads to the release of Carbon to the atmosphere.

Why do coastal areas tend to have more mild winter weather patterns?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: A body of water is nearby to regulate the temperature and keep it more constant.

Explanation: Air that is in contact with the ocean will be much cooler from energy transfer between water and air, while air that sits above land will heat up much more quickly. Therefore, coastal climates are much more temperate because a body of water is nearby to regulate the temperature and keep it more constant.

Arrange the layers in order from oldest to youngest.
Verizon [17]

From oldest to youngest: I, B, F, M, R, H.

Explanation:

On the picture we can see several layers of rock. Some of the layers have not been disturbed, so the principle of superposition can be applied to them. Some of the layer though have been disturbed by geological processes, so the layers are not at the same level because of it. On top of it, there is also an intrusion that has managed to further cause disturbance through all of the layers.

  • The layer I is the oldest, and it is the basis of the others.
  • Layer B has formed next, and after that layer F.
  • These three layers have been influenced by the formation of fault, where one of their sides has been moving up relative to the other, while the other has been moving down relative to the other.
  • Layer M is younger layer, and it can easily be seen as it totally covers the layer F below it.
  • On top is layer R, which is the youngest of them all (the layers), and the one that comes out on the surface.
  • Layer H is not really a layer, but it is an intrusion, which has formed after magma managed to cut through all the layers and later solidify. It is the youngest formation.
