Lisa [10]3 years ago

The outer core of the Earth is formed by liquid iron, with temperatures that can reach 3,000 ° C, its size is up to 5,150KM. It is in the outer core that the earth's magnetic field originates, generated from the movement of the liquids that make up the outer core. Seismic waves are the vibration movements that occur inside the earth and propagate on the earth like earthquakes or explosions, so through seismology it was important to determine the size of the nucleus, because from the study of seismic waves it is possible to determine direction, time and path of the waves, as well as those waves that are reflected and refracted. Therefore it was through the study of mechanical waves that one can discover important features of the structure of our planet.

Patrick listed the three main types of mountains as fault block, tilted and volcano. What correction needs to be made to fix Pat
lapo4ka [179]

D, folded should replace tilted :)

The three main types of mountains derive their names from how they form.  Since it takes millions of years for mountains to form, there are some events that help mountains to form as they are.  One is the collision of plates.  The second is caused by the eruption of volcanoes.  The third is the formation of mountains generated along mountain fault lines with some large blocks of rock forcing themselves upwards while others are forcing themselves down.

Researchers have developed a program that measures how many planet earths are needed to provide the resources humanity is using.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Researchers have developed a program that measures how many planet earths are needed to provide the resources humanity is using. this ecological yardstick is called ecological footprint

The Global Footprint Network promotes the ecological footprint as a way to assess how much nature is needed to sustain a given number of people or an economy.  Through an ecological accounting system, it monitors this demand. The accounts compare the biologically productive areas used by people for consumption to the biologically productive areas available in a region or around the world (biocapacity, the productive area that can regenerate what people demand from nature).
