At the center of the Earth is the core, which has two parts. The solid, inner core of iron has a radius of about 760 miles (about 1,220 km), according to NASA. It is surrounded by a liquid, outer core composed of a nickel-iron alloy. The outer core is about 1,355 miles (2,180 km) thick.
Because of Earth's axial tilt (obliquity), our planet orbits the Sun on a slant which means different areas of Earth point toward or away from the Sun at different times of the year. Around the June solstice, the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun and the Northern Hemisphere gets more of the Sun's direct rays.
Examples of human environmental interactions in Syria would be activities such as fishing in the Mediterranean Sea, mining oil, growing food products in fields. In addition other activities could include things such as producing electricity which emits greenhouse gases and pollutants which harm the environment. Also at this time there is a violent civil war in Syria which has numerous human environment relationships such as using certain geographic features for military advantages and also destroying certain parts of the environment to attack the enemy.
The Red Sea and the Suez Canal are of strategic value in the region because this is one of the most important transport points for oil in the entire world. Much of the oil that comes from the Persian Gulf travels through the Suez Canal on its way to Europe and the United States. Control and stability of this area is of vital importance to the United States and European governments and markets.
<u>Answer:
</u>
The ranking of common igneous silicate minerals based on the temperature at which crystallization occurs is called Bowen’s reaction series.
<u>
Explanation:
</u>
In Bowen’s reaction series the minerals with high crystallization temperature are present at the top layer. This means these minerals are the first to crystallize from the magma and they are mostly unstable. The Bowen's reaction series is represented in the Y shape. The left branch of this Y has minerals containing iron and magnesium. They are called as Ferromagnesium minerals.
The right branch of the Y contains plagioclase feldspars minerals. Temperature gradually decreases down along the Bowen’s reaction series from
to
. At certain low temperature, the two branches combine forming minerals similar to felsic rocks such as orthoclase feldspar, quartz and muscovite mica.
