Answer:

As described below.

Explanation:

  • The earth has core is the innermost layer and is made up of iron, nickel, and alloy rich content and is about 2,900 to 5100 km in depth, has a surface temperature that goes up to  5700 K and is responsible for producing the magnetic waves and the semis waves.  
  • And there is the densest part of the planet, followed by the cover of the mantle that is made of silicate rocks and ice and planetary layer that undergoes differential density and has a thickness of 2,900 km and is divided into the three layers of the upper, middle and the lower.
  • The uppermost layer is called the asthenosphere and forms the base of the oceanic crust followed by the lithosphere crust.  That is igneous, metamorphic and the sedimentary ricks and has a density of 2.83 g/cm.

5. Which is not a major factor that influences the strength of a rock?
astraxan [27]

D. Rock type

Explanation:

The major factor that influences the strength of rocks is the rock type.

Different rock types are known to have their own relative strength.

Based on their strength, rocks are classified into hard and soft rocks.

Soft rock types are dominated by sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed by accumulation and deposition of sediments. They are often layered.

Metamorphic and igneous rocks are usually classified as hard rocks. These rocks forms under very high temperature and pressure conditions.

In engineering applications, the soft rocks not desired for construction purposes although they have their own unique material functions.

Hard rocks are used for heavy duty and durable constructions like dams and bridges.

A rectangular pyramid is sliced by a plane that is perpendicular to the base of the pyramid, as shown.
marin [14]
Cross sections perpendicular to the base and through the vertex will be triangles. Below, you can see a plane cutting through the pyramid, part of the pyramid removed, and the cross section. You could also take a slice parallel to the base. Cross sections parallel to the base will be hexagons.
