Earths outer layer if we consider physical properties and not chemistry is what

Biology
1 answer:
julsineya [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Earth's outer layer is called lithosphere- the word which originated from two Greek words lithos and sphaeros, meaning rocks and sphere respectively.

If we talk about physical properties of lithosphere it is the part of earth on which we are living. comprising the  uppermost part of the mantle and the crust, that is rigid solid and brittle.

Lithosphere can further be subdivided in different layers like crust, mantle, outer and inner core. Crust comprises the outermost layer of earth,

There are rocks of different types and densities found on earth, If we talk about continents, they are present of granite layer of crust. Crust is the only functional part of the earth's layers that enables the survival of life on it, and provides the living organisms with anchorage, shelter and food. Some important physical characteristics of lithosphere are:

what would be the most likely effect on cellular respiration if a plant were to lose much of its cjhlorophylkl
goldenfox [79]

Cellular respiration would produce less energy when plant were to lose much of its chlorophyll.

Plants can actually live longer without photosynthesis than they can without respiration. Some plants survive half the year without performing photosynthesis, but if they stop performing cellular respiration, even for a minute, they would be dead where they stand.

During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. Through a series of steps, much like cellular respiration, they convert these reactants into the products oxygen and glucose. The plants then can use the oxygen and glucose to make ATP in cellular respiration. The rate of respiration is greater than the rate of photosynthesis. So this means there is an overall excess of carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.

Biologists use ball-and-stick models to study complex molecules by representing atoms with balls and bonds with sticks. DNA is a
Vitek1552 [10]
Most models can't incorporate all the details of complex natural phenomena. For example, when measuring distances around the Earth it's convenient to model the Earth as a sphere, but this doesn't incorporate variations in distance because of mountain ranges, valleys and other topological features the traveler must traverse. Incorporating these additional details would make the model too complex for easy use. Since models must be simple enough that you can use them to make predictions, they often leave out some of the details.

ALSO.

The conformation of molecules are based on probability. It fails to take into account the electronegativity of individual atoms. And it is ineffective in showing inorganic interactions with metals and such.

Weathering and erosion both contribute to the disintegration of rocks. true or false
morpeh [17]
True because Weathering is the process breakdown of materials through physical or chemical actions and Erosion occurs when weathered materials such as soil and rock fragments are carried away by wind, water or ice. Many forces are involved in weathering and erosion, including both natural and man-made causes.This will causes rocks to disintergrate
