17. In which layer does mantle convection occur?

Physics
1 answer:
Anarel [89]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

D. Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.

4. Some early mornings , dew drops can be found on grass or a car parked outside,
horsena [70]

In some early mornings , dew drops can be found on grass or a car parked outside, but not on other materials such as the sidewalk because  the night -time temperature on grass and the car went below the dew point, but  the temperature of the concrete did not drop enough to reach the dew point  level

Dew can be formed on any object when the temperature of the object drop. When this happen, the object will be cool which will eventually cool the surrounding air around the object.

Dew drops is as a result of condensation in the air. When the cool air causes the air vapor to convert to liquid. The dew will form when the temperature of the object balances with the dew point in the surrounding environment.

In some early mornings , dew drops can be found on grass or a car parked outside, but not on other materials such as the sidewalk because  the night -time temperature on grass and the car went below the dew point, but  the temperature of the concrete did not drop enough to reach the dew point  level

Therefore the correct option is therefore A

Why does reflected light from the sun or moon appear as a column in the body of water as shown? how would the reflected light ap
kotykmax [81]
This column actually appears due to the body parts reflecting the light of the sun or moon to the observer.
If the body is not perfectly smooth, only parts of this body would be at the correct position to reflect the light of the sun or moon to the observer.
If the body was perfectly smooth, it would act like a mirror where you can see the full image of the sun or the moon reflected on it.

A wave is traveling in a string at 58 m/s. when the tension is then increased 17%, what will be the resulting wave speed?
Zepler [3.9K]

the resulting wave speed=62.7 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

T= tension, v= velocity= 58 m/s

when the tension is increased by 17%, new tension= 1.17 T

V'=\sqrt{\frac{1.17T}{\mu}}

V'=1.082 \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

V'=1.082 V

V'=1.082 (58)

V'=62.7 m/s

What is missing is the density of salt water. Let's denote it ρ. 
<span>The pressure at depth d then is: </span>
<span>p = p0 + ρ g d </span>
<span>, where p0 is the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the sea. We assume it is equal to the 1 atm inside the sub. </span>

<span>Hence the pressure difference between inside and outside of the window is: </span>

<span>Δp = ρ g d </span>

<span>The force on the window is this pressure difference, multiplied by the area of the circular window of diameter D. The latter equals </span>
<span>A = ¼ π D². </span>

<span>So </span>
<span>F = p A = ¼ π D ²ρ g d. </span>
<span>This should be less than Fmax. </span>

<span>Hence d < Fmax / (¼ π D ²ρ g ). </span>
