Is the temperature and density of Earth's crust high or low? Why?

Physics

Setler [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The crust is the first layer of the earth. It is split up into two parts the continental crust, and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust takes up 71% of the earths crust, and the other 29% of the crust is continental. The continental is made up of igneous rocks, and the oceanic crust is made up of sedimentary and basalt rocks. The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees Celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving.  The crust doesn't even make up 1% of the earth!  The crust is the layer were tectonic plates can be found.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

b. 0.6m/s, 0.7m/s, 0.61m/s, 0.62m/s

Explanation:

Precision of a measurement is the closeness of the experimental values to one another. Hence, experimental measurements are said to be precise if they are close to each other irrespective of how close they are to the accepted value. Precision can be determined by finding the range of each experimental value. The measurement with the LOWEST RANGE represents the MOST PRECISE.

Note: Range is the highest value - lowest value

Set A: 1.5 - 0.8 = 0.7

Set B: 0.7 - 0.6 = 0.1

Set C: 2.4 - 2.0 = 0.4

Set D: 3.1 - 2.9 = 0.2

Set B has the lowest range (0.1), hence, represent the most precise value.

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is
kumpel [21]

Answer:

7800kg/m³

Explanation:

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is

Given the density of iron = 7.8 g/cm3.

The SI units must be in kg/m³

7.8g = 7.8/1000 kg

7.8g = 0.0078kg

1cm³ = 0.000001m³

7.8g/cm³

= 0.0078/0.000001 kg/m³

= 7800kg/m³

Hence the density in SI unit is 7800kg/m³

Describe the interactions with the Sun, Earth and Moon system that result in Tides.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:The sun, earth, and moon are held together by gravity, and they interact in lots of ways.

  • The tides are another interaction in the sun-earth-moon system. The tides happen because the moon and sun pull on the oceans, causing them to rise and fall each day. The moon has a bigger effect than the sun because it is closer.

What is a cyclotron??<br> What is cyclotron frequency?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator.

Explanation:

Cyclotron frequency is the frequency of a charged particle moving perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field B, since that motion is always circular, the cyclotron frequency is given by equality of centripetal force and magnetic Lorentz force.
