“The Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere”, the statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The outermost parts of the Earth composed of crust and a part of the upper mantle is termed as lithosphere. And asthenosphere is positioned below lithosphere. The bottom layer of lithosphere has the parts of the upper crust.

So the highly viscous and ductile region in the remaining part of the upper crust forms the asthenosphere below the lithosphere. The upper crust in the lithosphere region contain elastic properties while the upper crust in the asthenosphere is ductile in nature. Thus the statement that lithosphere is thinner than asthenosphere is true as it is located at the surface.

A gas is collected in a 34.3L container at a temperature of 31.5°C. Later, the container has a volume of 29.2L, a temperature of
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

108 kPa  

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the <em>Combined Gas Laws</em>:

p₁V₁/T₁ = p₂V₂/T₂             Multiply each side by T₁

   p₁V₁ = p₂V₂ × T₁/T₂      Divide each side by V₁

      p₁ = p₂ × V₂/V₁ × T₁/T₂

Data:

p₁ = ?;                 V₁ = 34.3 L; T₁ = 31.5 °C

p₂ = 122.2 kPa; V₂ = 29.2 L; T₂ = 21.0 °C

Calculations:

(a) Convert temperatures to <em>kelvins </em>

T₁ = (31.5 + 273.15) K = 304.65 K

T₂ = (21.0 + 273.15) K = 294.15 K

(b) Calculate the <em>pressure </em>

p₁ = 122.2 kPa × (29.2/34.3) × (304.65/294.15)  

   = 122.2 kPa × 0.8542 × 1.0357

   = 108 kPa

Answer:

No because a straw is plastic look at it by this was, the energy used to create one metal straw is roughly equivalent to creating 90 plastic straws, and also produces carbon emissions equivalent to 150 plastic straws. This may not seem like a lot, but in order to offset the environmental impact of creating a metal straw, it must be used over 150 times

What effect do you think global warming might have on the availability of fresh water
Margaret [11]

Global Warming results in rising sea levels as the freshwater from the melted glaciers eventually runs into the ocean.

<h3 /><h3>What is Global Warming ? </h3>

A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.

As the climate warms, harmful algal blooms happen more often and become more severe.

As the ocean warms, freshwater glaciers around Earth begin to melt at an unsustainable rate, which results in rising sea levels.

The freshwater from the melted glaciers eventually runs into the ocean.
