Answer:

"Crust" refers to a

terrestrial planet's outermost surface.

In general, the Earth's crust is divided into

older, thicker continental crust and younger, denser oceanic crust.

...

The thin, 40-kilometer (25-mile) deep crust of our planet — just

1 per cent of Earth's mass — contains all known universe existence.

Explanation:

Continental crust is thicker, 22 miles (35 km) on average and less dense than oceanic crust, which accounts for its mean surface elevation of about 3 miles (4.8 km) above that of the ocean floor (Archimedes’ principle). Continental crust is more complex than oceanic crust…

Which of the following statements is true about magnetic fields.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:  

The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun

Explanation:

The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.

The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that  protects  the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism  is  for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.

Answer:

Reading a Graduated Cylinder

Place the graduated cylinder on a flat surface and view the height of the liquid in the cylinder with your eyes directly level with the liquid. The liquid will tend to curve downward. This curve is called the meniscus. Always read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus.....
