Physics

Anarel [89]3 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.

What gravitational force does the moon produce on the earth is their centers are 3. 88x10^8 m apart and the moon has a mass of 7
vitfil [10]

The Moon is 3.8 108 m from Earth and has a mass of 7.34 1022 kg. 5.97 1024 kg is the mass of the Earth.

<h3>What kind of gravitational pull does the moon have on the planet?</h3>

On the surface of the Moon, the acceleration caused by gravity around   1.625 m/s2 which is 16.6% greater than on the surface of the Earth 0.166.

<h3>What does the Earth's center's gravitational pull feel like?</h3>

Gravity is zero if you are in the centre of the earth since everything around you is pulling "up" (up is the only direction).

<h3>Where is the Earth's and the moon's gravitational centre?</h3>

It is around 1700 kilometres below Earth's surface.

How is energy transferred during the water cycle? Question 1 options: Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it duri
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the water cycle, heat energy is gained or lost by water as it undergoes various processes in the cycle.

In evaporation, water molecules gains energy because the molecules of water vibrate faster and become more energetic. Hence they are able to escape into the atmosphere from the surface of the liquid.

In condensation, the molecules of gaseous water looses energy and becomes liquid.

Hence, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere.
