zlopas [31]3 years ago

Australia is the smallest continent on Earth and is slightly smaller than the United States of America. Australia is often called the "land down under." That's because the entire continent of Australia is south of the equator which is the imaginary line that separates the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere.

Where is the temperature of the mantle material greater?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

At the boundary with the core.

Explanation:

The mantle is the second layer from the top. It is bordered by the lithosphere above it, or rather by the crust, and by the outer core below it. The mantle is a layer which is in viscous state, being mostly consisted of molten metals and rocks. The temperature of this layer is not the same all throughout it, but it varies a lot. The temperature at its top part is around 200 C degrees, while the temperature at its bottom is around 4,000 C degrees. There's two reasons for this. One is that the core is very hot, so it makes the bottom part of the mantle very hot as well, and the other one is that the lithosphere is much cooler, as well as constantly getting new, cold, crust in it, which makes its top part much cooler. The mantle is the layer responsible for the movement of the tectonic plates on the surface, as it is the layer where the convection currents occur and drive the plates' movement.

Base your answers to questions 42 through 44 on the mineral chart below and on your knowledge of Earth
taurus [48]
What you're looking for in here is the hardness: a material can scratch another material if it's harder than it.

So the desired material cannot be harder than amphibole, which has a hardness of 6.

But it has to be harder than fluorite, which has a hardness of 4.

So we're looking for a hardness of between 4 and 6 and from the table we see it's magnesite (we'll need a hard magesite) - this is the correct answer!

Population growth in Europe is _____. decreasing stable increasing unable to determine from information in lesson
kykrilka [37]

The population growth of Europe is decreasing.

Explanation:

Europe, as a continent, is in the worst demographic situation. It is the only continent where it is predicted that the population will be decreasing in the coming decades. In fact, the majority of the countries in Europe have minimal population growth or have decrease in their populations already.

Taken as a whole, the continent experiences decrease in the population growth. This is due to the significantly lowered birthrates, so there is less and less young population, and more and more old population, thus aging populations. Over time, there will be less and less people for reproduction, and if the current trend continue, the continent will experience sharp decline in population in few decades.

The top three countries by population growth in Europe are:

  • Luxembourg (1.90)
  • Cyprus (1.27)
  • Ireland (1.11)

The bottom three countries with largest population decline are:

  • Latvia (-1.10)
  • Lithuania (-1.10)
  • Moldova (-1.06)
