Answer:

Explanation:

Divergent plate boundaries occur when two tectonic plates are moving apart, such as the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. As the plate move apart energy, can be released as an earthquake. In the place of the lithosphere that is being dragged apart, magma can seep through as a volcanic eruption. In some cases the new volcanoes can for mountains along the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, dividing the tectonic plates. It can also cause a rift valley.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

b. inner core

Explanation:

To solve this problem let's start by listing the information given. This will help us find which option best fits the characteristics provided to find the correct answer.

characteristics of mystery layer:

i. it is solid and extremely hot

ii. it is the innermost layer of the Earth

iii. it is around 800 miles thick

Now let's go through each option to determine which best matches the characteristics.

option a

outer core

The first characteristic of the mystery layer is 'it is solid and extremely hot.' The outer core of the earth, however, is a fluid layer. Therefore, this option cannot be correct.

option b

inner core

The inner core is a solid 'ball' and is about 10,800°F. It is also the inner, or last layer, of the earth and is around 800 miles thick. Therefore, it matches all characteristics of the mystery layer so, this must be the correct answer. If you would like to be sure, I also reviewed the last two options below.

option c

crust

Because the crust is the outermost layer of the planet, it does not match the second characteristic of the mystery layer. Therefore, this cannot be the correct answer to the question.

option d

mantle

Although the mantle does match the first characteristic, it does not match the second characteristic, which requires the layer to be the innermost layer of the earth. The mantle is one of the outer layers of the earth.

Now that all options are reviewed, we have determined the best solution to the problem. The correct answer to this question is b. inner core.

Volcanic outgassing is the release of carbon into the atmosphere mainly in the form of carbon monoxide.

Animal respiration and flatulence are process taking place in animals which leads to the release of carbon dioxide.

Burning of fossil fuels is the use of heat to breakdown fossil fuels such as petroleum leading to the release of Carbon.

Limestone metamorphism is the breakdown of limestone which leads to the release of Carbon to the atmosphere.
