How does the lithosphere behave as a system

2 answers:

8 0

"The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. The upper part of the lithosphere which chemically reacts to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process is called the pedosphere. The lithosphere is underlain by the athenosphere which is the weaker, hotter, deeper part of the upper mantle."

Answer :

A system is a collection of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent parts creating a complicated body. So if lithosphere is a method then the top mantle-stratosphere, coat, tectonic plates, volcanoes on a shell, hills, fields and other geological characteristics are its segments. There will be inter communications among these segments. For example, the displacement of tectonic plates forms ridges, drains, produces volcanoes, earthquakes,etc. It affects people because people live on the surface of the planet i.e., on a crust and the crustal characteristics will change the way of life, gives sources for the survival of humans, the crustal changes will create damage and loss of human lives.

Thermal emissions by solid bodies can be analyzed to provide information on the temperature at a few wavelengths below the surfa

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:T= 2898*10^-5K

Explanation:

wavelength = 10cm

Using Wien's Law

maximum wavelength= 2898*10^-6/temp(K)

thus T=2898*10^-6/10*10^-2

T= 2898*10^-5K

this is the maximum observed temperature of 10 cm wavelength black body

since this temperature is close to the diurnal equilibrium temperature, that's why it not get much colder.

Where does the thermal energy to melt Earth's inner rock come from?

Which of the following hazards would you expect to see at a CONVERGENT plate boundary associated with a continent-continent COLL

mixer [17]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The sharing of a convergent plate boundary between two continental plates results in the formation of a sandwich pattern, where the rocks at the edges of both the plates are crushed and crumbled and folded. Here the magma beneath the plates cannot rise up to the surface due to its high thickness, so it does not lead to the formation of volcanoes. For example, the Himalaya.

There is the possibility of occurring frequent landslides at the higher elevated mountainous areas due to the steeper slope of the mountains. It can also lead to the occurrence of flood, as there is the presence of plateaus that are formed at the top of the mountains that has the ability to trap water within them.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
