In the Earth's mantle, heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents "hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks".

Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Heat rises occur and the hotter rock gets farther away from the Earth's overheated core it starts to chill out and continues to sink back towards the Earth's overheated center where it gets reheated and also the entire procedure begins again. It's what a current in convection is.

Convection currents are part of what keeps the Earth's atmosphere through global circulation. The convection currents contribute to conditions in the air and sea. Magma travels in convection currents at Earth's mantle. The hot cores heat the above substance, allowing it to rise to the crust where it cools.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

(a)2.865 s

(b)2.865 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration,a= $3.49 m/s^2$

a.Initial speed,u=29 m/s

Final speed,v=39 m/s

We know that

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}$

Using the formula

$t=\frac{39-29}{3.49}=2.865 s$

b.Initial speed,u=59 m/s

Final speed,v=69 m/s

Again using the formula

$t=\frac{69-59}{3.49}=2.865 s$

Assuming air as ideal gas and amount of air in no of moles is known then by gas law,

PV= nRT

Pressure is constant

P* (change in volume) = nR* (change in temperature)

frez [133]

Answer:

216m

Explanation:

As we know S=ut+1/2at^2

S=6×12+1/2×2×12×12

=72+144

=216 m

The Rorschach inkblots and the TAT (Thematic Appreciation Test) both rely on providing the subject with ambiguous visual stimuli and assessing the subject's state of mind using the subject's interpretation of the stimuli.
Both use cards, although not all of the cards are used in the TAT. Moreover, the TAT cards contain sketches, while the Rorschach inkblots contain patterns of ink.
