Why do terrestrial planets have meager atmospheres whereas the atmospheres of jovian planets are substantial?

1 answer:

6 0

Terrestrial planets were formed in a territory where it was too hot for ice and gas to condense but the Jovian planets formed in colder locations. The terrestrial planets also are too small in size to apply the gravitational pull which is required to hold very light gases in their atmospheres.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

"Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. They occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. Along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench.At island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. The islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. The basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. The andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface.Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume? "
As the different situations and events gave rise to the seven different tectonic plates which comprises the over all structure of the planet, as there are a number of geological sites that took there shape because of the movement of the different planetary regions, layers, or the components which makes up the deep down trenches and the islands along with the different volcanic hotspots.
Mostly the subduction region is only due the movement or the sliding of the different tectonic plates which gives rise to a way different catastrophic events like the creation of the seismic way may generate the earth quakes inside the different regions.
Along, with that the different climates across the globe are also due the difference in such geological sites.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

4. Fossils form in sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

A fossil expresses the traces or is the remains of prehistoric plant or animal that has died and its body part has been carefully been imprinted on to the surface of the rock that is sedentary as they have the characteristics of the mineral preserving qualities.

There age , method of formation and evolutionary significance can be well established by the fossil remain in rocks that depict there occurrence throughout the carbon dating of the rocks.

The process that leads to the formation of fossil is Personalization, casts and molds, recrystallization and Carbonization. Tracing a fossil consisting of digging out the track and burrows.
Some fossil is found in deposits of resins which complete preserve the fossils from erosion process.
