Nuclear fusion stops at iron in the core of the star, and the iron ash core collapses under its own gravity. Electron degeneracy
pressure stops the core collapse in a low-mass star, but the self-gravity of high-mass stars is large enough to overcome this, and the electrons slam into protons to form neutrons. Like electrons, neutrons are not able to exist within a certain distance of one another.As the core collapses, the neutrons hit this limit in density, and a new, extremely strong outward pressure called neutron degeneracy pressure appears. What effect might this have on the material outside the neutron degenerate core, which was previously collapsing under gravity?Choose one:A. It will continue to collapse at the same rate.B. It will collapse faster.C. It will expand outward.
Earth changes in its own natural ways. Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, Tsunamis and earthquakes.
