Answer:

The outer core of the earth is liquid.

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel through the Earth at different speeds and are reflected and refracted diffracted differently as they encounter layers of different densities.

By analyzing these waves, they have concluded that there is an inner core of solid iron surrounded by a liquid outer core consisting of nickel and iron.

A is wrong. The Earth consists of several layers

C is wrong. Seafloor spreading is caused by the movement of tectonic plates away from each other.

D is wrong. The mantle is mostly solid rock.

Explain what is meant by Pleistocene ice age

makkiz [27]

By Pleistocene ice age is meant the glacial periods that appeared in the Pleistocene. The Pleistocene is the first epoch of the Quaternary. It is an epoch when there was a so called ''ice age'' on the Earth, or rather a glacial period. During this ice age the planet had much lower temperatures on a global scale. The climate was also much drier. Lot of ocean water was frozen in the ice sheets that were stretching deep into the North American and Eurasian continents, which resulted in much lower sea levels that today as well. The places further north than 40 degrees of latitude were almost exclusively covered with ice, so life was almost impossible apart from some coastline places.

A gas has a volume of 590 mL at temperature of -55.0 C. What volume will the gas occupy at 30.0 C show your work

DENIUS [597]

Data:
$V_{initial} = 590\:mL$
$T_{initial} = -55.0^0C$
converting to Kelvin
TK = TC + 273
TK = -55.0 + 273 → TK = 218.0 → $T_{initial} = 218.0\:K$
$V_{final} = ? (in\:milliliters)$
$T_{final} = 30.0^0C$
TK = TC + 273
TK = 30.0 + 273 → TK = 303.0 → $T_{final} = 303.0\:K$

By the first Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac, we have:
$\frac{ V_{i} }{ T_{i} } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ T_{f} }$

Solving:
$\frac{ V_{i} }{ T_{i} } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ T_{f} }$
$\frac{ 590 }{ 218.0 } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ 303.0 }$
Product of extremes equals product of means:
$218.0* V_{f} = 590*303.0$
$218.0 V_{f} = 178770$
$V_{f} = \frac{178770}{218.0}$
$\boxed{\boxed{V_{f} \approx 820.04\:mL}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

A series circuit has two 5.0-ohm resistors and a power source of 9.0 volts. How will the current be affected and what will it be

miskamm [114]

The formula for solving current given with resistance and power source or voltage is shown below:
I = V/R

When two 5 ohms resistors are in series, we have:
I = 9 volts / (5+5 ohms)
I = 0.9 amperes

When it is being added with another 7.5 resistors, we have:
I = 9 volts / (5+5+7.5 ohms)
I = 0.529 ampere

The answer to the question is the letter "D. decrease; 0.51 amps".
