Answer:

Hi! The answer is this, The pressure on the inner core makes the inner core into a solid state, the temperature is hotter that the outer core but it's not hot enough to melt a substance do to the pressure squeezing down from all the layers above! :3

Explanation:

I took this test and got 100% on it so if you need help on other questions just let me know! <3

P.S: Make sure you put your answer in your own words!

Explanation:

From the studies done on seismic elastic waves, it has been discovered that the innermost core of the earth is a solid concentric layer. Seismic P and S waves can be propagated through solids but the s-waves are cut off in contact with a liquid medium. This is because s-waves are shear waves and fluids do not shear.

  • At the outer core, the s waves is cutoff and it reappears in the region of the inner core.
  • This shows that the inner core is solid.
  • The inner core is made up of iron and nickel with some other siderophiles.
  • At the inner core, the pressure is very great. Pressure here is about 350gigapascal.
  • This huge pressure compresses matter into solids despite the very high temperature.
  • Also, during the differentiation of the earth, the heavier minerals moves downward to the core due to their density. Metals in the core have density of about 13g/cm³.

Who was the first researcher to provide direct experimental data that supported the germ theory to explain infectious disease?
trapecia [35]
While Louis Pasteur was the one that procured the germ theory of disease that explains that diseases are caused by microorganisms, the first researcher that provided direct experimental data to support the said theory is Robert Koch. 

Robert Koch developed a criteria for the causality of disease from microorganisms called the Koch's postulates. The Koch's postulates indicate that:

(1) The bacteria must be present in every case of the disease
(2) <span>The bacteria must be extracted and isolated from the host with the disease and should be directly visualized and/or grown in culture
(3) There must be a healthy experimental host that will reproduce the disease once the isolated bacteria is injected
(4) The bacteria should be recoverable from the previously healthy host

What is derived trait chart used for?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Derived traits shared among the species or other groups in a dataset are key to helping us build trees. As shown above, shared derived traits tend to form nested patterns that provide information about when branching events occurred in the evolution of the species.

Sickle cell anemia and albinism are both recessive traits in humans. Imagine that a couple, already pregnant with fraternal twin
lidiya [134]

Answer:

81/256

Explanation:

By doing a test cross of albinism and sickle cell anemia you'll see that the probability that one child is unaffected by either conditions will be 9/16. Both children would be 9/16 * 9/16.  

Since fraternal twins are developed from two separate fertilization events the probability chance will be independent.
