Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
6 0

It is widely accepted that the Earth’s interior is composed of several layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. Since the crust is readily accessible, scientists have been able to perform hands-on experiments to determine its composition; studies on the more distant mantle and core have more limited opportunities samples, so scientists also rely on analyses of seismic waves and gravity, as well as magnetic studies.

Measuring Seismic Waves

It is impossible to drill to the center of the earth, so scientists rely on indirect observations of matter lying below the surface through use of seismic waves and their knowledge of how these waves travel during and after an earthquake.

In what location would primary succession most likely occur? An area that was covered by a glacier An area that was in a long dr
Virty [35]
An area that was covered by a glacier

Primary succession is a method of bringing about fertility in infertile land that can not be cultivated. This method usually involves plant species known as "pioneer species", that do not rely heavily on soil nutrients but add nutrients to the soil. The land under the glacier is likely to be void of nutrients and infertile, so primary succession will be needed there the most.
