Answer:

Himalayas, Karakorum, and Kunlun ranges.

Explanation:

  • The silk route travelers connected the east Asia with southeast Asia.With Persia and the Arabian peninsula.  And it began with the Han dynasty in China. And it expanded to central Asia and thus they extended the great wall of china to protect the trade route.
  • The northern route included many mountainous ranges like the china, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan. The Himalayas in the India and the southern route was of the Karakorum ranges and Ganges delta.

How did isaac newton predict how the interior of the earth would change?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

He made the theory of universal gravitation that  says every particle in the universe attracts every other particle through the force of gravity. The theory  predicts how objects as large as planets and as small as individual colliding molecules will interact; it also says the way earthquakes ripple through the Earth’s crust and how to build building that can withstand them.

1. _________in the interior of the earth can be classified as primordial
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

1. Core.

2. Nuclear disintegration; dissipation.

3. Conduction; convection.

4. Conduction.

5. Convection.

6. Radiation.

7. Tectonic plates.

8. Thermal energy.

9. Thermal energy through conduction.

10. Subduction zone.

Explanation:

1. Core in the interior of the earth can be classified as primordial and radiogenic heat.

2. The thermal energy released as a result of spontaneous nuclear disintegration, is called Radiogenic Heat while the internal heat energy accumulated by dissipation, in a planet during its few million years of evolution is called Primordial heat.

3. There are three processes that can be used to transfer heat, conduction, convection and radiation.

4. Conduction governs the thermal conditions in almost entire solid portions of the Earth and plays a very important role in the lithosphere.

5. Convection involves transfer of heat by the movement of mass, which is a more efficient means of heat transport in the Earth compared to pure

conduction.

6 Radiation is the least important mode of heat transport in the Earth.

7. Convection current is relevant to the movement of tectonic plates, because the heat builds up pressure underneath the crust.

8. The thermal energy of the core is transferred to the surface of the earth and the lower levels of ocean by conduction.

9. Air molecules come in contact with the warmer surface of the land or ocean, resulting to the increase of its thermal energy through conduction.

10. The area where subduction occur is called subduction zone. It is a zone which represents the collision between the two (2) tectonic plates of planet earth. Subduction zone occurs in countries such as Japan, Canada, Indonesia, Russia, Alaska, and around the Pacific Ocean.

Generally, subduction zones are responsible for high intensity earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis around the world.
