What do scientist use to learn about Earth's core

Dafna11 [192]3 years ago

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.

he outer core of the Earth is a liquid layer about 2,260 kilometers thick. It is made of iron and nickel. This is above the Earth's solid inner core and below the mantle. Its outer boundary is 2,890 km (1,800 mi) beneath the Earth's surface.

DNA being placed with DNA polymerase and nucleotides and resulting in new copies is not an opinion or inference because the fact is, new more DNA was found in the test tube after adding the enzymes and nucleotides than before the addition. DNA sequencing of the new copies would have shown that the sequences of the new DNA are identical to the original DNA that was first placed in the test tube. Also, other experiments would have shown that adding other different kinds of molecules or enzymes does not, in fact, produce new strands of the original DNA, nor should it be able replicate the DNA at all.

Which describes two species interacting so closely that they are adapted to each other? 1 generalized evolution 2convergent evol
GuDViN [60]

<u>Answer</u>: Option 3 Coevolution

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>Coevolution</em> is a process in which two individuals reciprocally affect each other's evolution.  In this process the interacting species exert selective pressures on each other thus, affecting their evolution. Due to this reciprocal adaption they become so close that the evolution of one species is affected by the other.

Which of these statements describes some aspect of facilitated diffusion?a.Facilitated diffusion is another name for osmosis.b.F
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport hence no energy is required by the cell. This means that while the molecules are moving down a concentration gradient – line normal diffusion – the movement of the molecules needs to be facilitated (in this case by a transmembrane protein) either because the molecule is polar and can't pass through the hydrophobic region of the cell membrane, or the molecule is too big to passively pass through the small natural pores of the cell membrane.
