Which part of the mantle is still solid but flows like a heavy liquid

Chemistry
1 answer:
topjm [15]3 years ago
5 0

The Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).

 

<span>The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!!!!!!</span>

How can you described the energy of a storm
lakkis [162]

Answer:

When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

Explanation:

I hope this can help you!

What does the atomic weight of an element represent
Marrrta [24]

The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.


The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

What is the effect of adding more CO2 to the following equilibrium reaction? CO2 + H2O H2CO3 A. More H2CO3 is produced. B. More
Gre4nikov [31]
I think the answer is D no change. Though you add more CO2, but the pressure is not mentioned. If the pressure is constant and the reaction is already balanced, the H2O is also saturation and can not absorb more CO2.

What is the balance equation for copper metal and aqueous zinc nitrate
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

No reaction

Explanation:

Single-displacement reaction is the chemical reaction in which one metal which has higher negative redox potential replaces the another from it's salt solution.

Thus, Cu cannot replaces zine from its salt as it is less reactive than zince.

However, zinc can replace copper from its salt as:

Zn_{(s)}+Cu(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cu_{(s)}+Zn(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}
