their relative densities

Explanation:

The relative densities of the earth's materials can be inferred by the arrangement of the earth layers.

Compositionally, the earth is made up of three distinct layers; core, mantle and the crust.

  • The crust is the thin outermost layer of the earth.
  • The mantle straddles the zone between the core and crust.
  • The core is the innermost layer of the earth.

During the formation of the earth, materials differentiated into different layers based on density.

The densest materials settled in the core and they are made up of iron and nickel metals.

The lightest materials of silicate affinity partitioned to the crust.

The mantle contained materials whose density straddles between the crust and core.

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of 3 distinct layers, and they are as follows-

  • Crust- It is the most interior layer of the earth, and is comprised of the denser materials and siderophile elements. The density of this layer is about 13 g/cm³.
  • Mantle- It is the middle layer comprised of the silicate rocks that are rich in aluminum, iron, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and other important elements. The average density of this layer is 5 g/cm³.
  • Crust- It is the outer solid portion of the earth in which the rocks are mostly silicate in nature. It is comprised of both continental as well as oceanic crust. The density of this layer is approximately 2.5 g/cm³ .

Thus, the arrangement of these layers helps in understanding the relative densities of the layers.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

Why are ocean fossils found on top of the rocky mountains?
Anna35 [415]
Let's start from the beginning. 

<span>Millions and millions of years ago, planet Earth was absolutely crowded with volcanoes. </span>

<span>As you may know, volcanoes release steam and gasses. </span>
<span>As the years went by, the gasses released from volcanoes formed the atmosphere around the planet, which prevented the steam from disappearing into outer space. </span>
<span>The steam eventually, in cycles, began to fall back to Earth. Viola, rain had just been "invented". </span>

<span>As more and more rain fell, considering almost every surface of the planet was volcanic, the water began to build up and "flood" the planet. Many active volcanoes had now been transformed into underwater volcanoes. </span>

<span>As more and more years went by, eventually, bacteria in the water slowly began to evolve, first into jelly-fish like creatures, then tadpole-like creatures, leading all the way up to large ferocious underwater reptiles, amphibians and fish. </span>

<span>As the planet started to warm up, probably by methane gasses released from the prehistoric underwater creatures, the water levels on Earth began to drop again. At the same time, the active underwater volcanoes were creating new landmasses, either by lava cooling on the surface of the water or tectonic plates pushing the volcano above sea level. </span>

<span>So, this, is how fossils of sea creatures ended up in high land-based mountains. </span>
<span>Because millions of years ago, most of Earth was underwater until the water levels dropped or lands "grew" higher. </span>
<span>The Rocky Mountains were once underwater. </span>


<span>If you take a look at images of the Grand Canyon in the United States, you'll see that it resembles the deep caverns and canyons that you find at the bottom of oceans. </span>
<span>That's because the Grand Canyon WAS at the bottom of an ocean.</span>

A series of maps, spanning a long period of time for a region, could be best used to show... a b how beliefs and practices withi
jeyben [28]

The correct answer is D. How national borders in a region change over time.

Explanation:

The main purpose of maps is to show geographical features including natural physical features such as mountains or rivers, and political features that refer to the use of land by humans and the divisions created by them. Due to this, through maps, it is possible to visually show cities, states, regions countries, etc. In this context, a series of maps can be used to show the evolution or change of national borders because this is part of political features. Also, other aspects such as policies, beliefs, or economic events are not geographical and due to this cannot be depicted through maps.
