Answer:

asthenosphere

Explanation:

Aesthenosphere is the uppermost part of the mantle and it is a region known for it high viscosity. The aesthenosphere is like a thick and heavy liquid. The next layer above the aesthenosphere is the lithosphere.

The aesthenosphere is what drive convection and plate tectonic . Convection talks about when less dense material rises and more dense material sinks.

The aesthenosphere through convection allows the lithospheric plate to move on it and this is what causes deformation and ductility of various rock bodies. This region plays a major role in plate tectonic as they determine how the plate are been separated into different parts.

This aesthenosphere is the region were molten magma migrate to the earth surface. The molten magma might erupt through volcano to the earth surface due to pressure .

Hello!

Your answer is A, asthenosphere

<u>The asthenosphere is a part of the mantle</u>. It helps move the plates in the Earth.

It is <u>below the lithosphere,</u> between <u>80 and 200 km</u> below the surface.

Therfore, the asthenosphere is <u>the part of the mantle that is still a solid but flows like a thick, heavy liquid.</u>

<u />

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

The most common source of copper (cu) is the mineral chalcopyrite (cufes2). how many kilograms of chalcopyrite must be mined to
tigry1 [53]

Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Cu = 300 g

Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole

Molar mass of CuFeS_2 = 183.511 g/mole

  • First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.

\text{ Moles of Cu}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of Cu}}{\text{ Molar mass of Cu}}= \frac{300g}{63.546g/mole}=4.7209moles

The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles

From the given chemical formula, CuFeS_2 we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.

So, The moles of Cu = Moles of CuFeS_2 = 4.4209 moles

  • Now we have to calculate the mass of CuFeS_2.

Mass of CuFeS_2 = Moles of CuFeS_2 × Molar mass of CuFeS_2 = 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g

Mass of CuFeS_2 = 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg         (1 Kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
