The earth has different layers for a reason similar to chocolate milk. When you put chocolate syrup in milk, where does it immediately go? To the bottom. We don't exactly know how the earth itself formed, but the way it developed its layers is by the heaviest elements sinking to the bottom. The earth's core is made of iron and nickel, with maybe a little sulfur - that's the heaviest part. The mantle is made of heavier minerals in the silicate family, and within the mantle there are certain regions where there is a "phase transition" from one type of crystal structure to another, where the weight of the overlying layers is heavy enough to squish the atoms closer together. The lightest material floats like a crust on top - we call it the crust of the earth, even.

There are different kind of layers in the earth. Really hot ones and ones that cooled down. Google rock layers in the earth. It’s super cool to see. These layers could never have formed at the same time under the same conditions

7. How might the fleeing of so many refugees impact Syria? (think ESPeN)

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The big number of people fleeing from Syria may have very negative demographic and economic implications for the country.

Explanation:

Syria is a country in war, both with armed forces inside and with armed forces from other countries. The war is going on for quite some time now, and it has led to the devastation of most of the country. Being afraid for their lives and seeing that there wouldn't be good conditions for living in the country for decades to come, millions of people have been on the move.

With millions of people already gone and millions trying to migrate out of the country, Syria will face a very big problem in the future. It is rapidly losing the young and middle aged population, which is the population that is able to have children and it is the population that has the biggest economic contribution. Also, the highly qualified labor force has almost entirely left the country. Apart from the sharp decline in the population, this will also result in a dramatic drop in birthrates, aging population, lack of labor force, brain drain, and the economy will suffer badly, which in turn will result in more people moving out of the country.
