How does gravity affect the density and physical features of earth’s layers?

Physics

Natalka [10]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The atmosphere and Earth's interior are layered by density. The differentiation between these layers is due to processes that took place during the early stages of Earth's formation (ca. 4.5 billion years ago). At this time, melting would have caused denser substances to sink toward the center while less-dense materials would have migrated to the crust.

Gravity pulls more strongly on denser materials so denser materials are at the center of things. The lowest layer of the atmosphere is denser than the upper layer. Earth's liquid metal oure has convection, which generates the magnetic field.

Explanation:

Gravity pulls more strongly on denser materials so denser materials are at the center of things. The lowest layer of the atmosphere is denser than the upper layer. Earth's liquid metal core has convection, which generates the magnetic field.

The five physical layers are the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core.  Each layer has its own properties, composition, and characteristics that affects many of the key processes of our planet. They are, in order from the exterior to the interior – the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

The layers of the Earth are responsible for the formation of our continents. Earthquakes can be important because of energy (seismic energy) released. The atmosphere and Earth's interior are layered by density. Gravity pulls more strongly on denser materials so denser materials are at the center of things. Earth's core, at its center, is denser than its crust. The lowest layer of the atmosphere is denser than the upper layer.

An electron moves through a uniform electric field E = (2.00î + 5.40ĵ) V/m and a uniform magnetic field B = 0.400k T. Determine
EleoNora [17]

Answer:a=1.75\times 10^{21}\left ( 2\hat{i}5.08\hat{j}\right )

Explanation:

Given

Electric Field \vec{E}=2\hat{i}+5.4\hat{j}

\vec{B}=0.4\hat{k}\ T

velocity \vec{v}=8\hat{i} m/s

mass of electron m=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg

Force on a charge Particle moving in Magnetic Field

F=e\left [ \vec{E}+\left ( \vec{v}\times \vec{B}\right )\right ]

a=\frac{e\left [ \vec{E}+\left ( \vec{v}\times \vec{B}\right )\right ]}{m}

a=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\left [ 2\hat{i}+5.4\hat{j}+\left ( 8\hat{i}\times 0.4\hat{k}\right )\right ]}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}  

a=1.75\times 10^{21}\left ( 2\hat{i}+5.08\hat{j}\right )\ m/s^2

Which of the following best illustrates a pair of sentences that are joined by an understood relationship?
zubka84 [21]

Answer : Option C) Detective Smiley scanned the dim hallway. He pulled his pistol from its holster.

Explanation : Amongst the given other choices there seems to be no relationship between two consecutive sentences. The only sentence which seemed to have a connection between previous and later sentence was option C. Where it is clearly stated that the detective named as Smiley was walking through the hallway which was dimly lit. The second sentence has a co-relation to the previous one as it extends the sentence. Detective smiley then pulled out his pistol from his holster after walking through the hallway.

This confirms that the correct answer for this question is Option C.
