Answer:

density

Explanation:

  • Due to the density of the rocks that vary the scientist believe is the reason for the hot and plastic-like rocks to form in the earth's asthenosphere and rise above the surface.
  • As the rocks with a higher density and a higher weight exert great pressure and force that lead to the rise of magma and escape of gases from the surface and the thus the magma is released to the surface of the earth.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

The thermosphere is the layer that lies between the mesosphere and the exosphere, extending from a height of about 85 km to about 500 km above the surface of the earth. In this layer, the temperature and height are directly proportional to each other. There occurs a high temperature in this layer due to the large absorption of the incoming radiations coming from the sun. This layer has a great significance, as the charge particles present in this layer useful for the large scale radio communication.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
