The sun is described as a big star composed mainly of hot hydrogen and helium gas.


There are various layers in the Sun, including the core or core, the radiative zone, the convection zone, the photosphere (which emits most of the sunlight), the chromosphere and its outer part, the corona. Density decreases with altitude, from the nucleus to the atmosphere. The temperature in the nucleus is of the order of 15 million kelvin.


The solar atmosphere is a complex medium consisting of plasma subjected to an intense magnetic field, with solar flares and the solar wind. Sunspots, which appear dark because of their lower temperature, are, like the crown, radiosources. Solar activity related to these phenomena varies cyclically.


The observation of the solar spectrum is carried out thanks to spectroheliographs. This spectrum includes rays, known since Fraunhofer (1814), which signal the presence of hydrogen and helium mainly and about sixty other elements. It also includes bands that betray the presence of molecules in the solar atmosphere.

Convection in the upper mantle
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

D) movement of the tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Lets understand first what convection is. It refers to the process through which denser material sinks and less dense material rises. This is because less dense material is more buoyant than denser one.

The earth is composed of water, rocks and air and all these things lower their density when there occurs an increase in their temperature.

So what happens when convection occurs in the upper mantle of earth, it raises the less dense material called magma  in uprising direction, because of the extreme heat in the Earth’s core. When molten lava moves upwards it moves in a fashion of convection, but then it cools down and sinks again.

As the earth surface is made up of tectonic plates. Scientists believe that when convection occur in mantle layer, it causes the movement of plates, This movement can be away from, or towards each other. The movement of tectonic plates causes shifts continents, ocean basins, earthquakes and pushes up mountains.


So D is best option.

Hope it helps!
