Which best explains mantel convection

Biology
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The heat given off by Earth's core is circulated through mantle convection.

Explanation:

Heating materials usually causes them to <em>expand</em>; as they become hotter, they also become less dense. Convection describes the transfer of heat from hot areas of liquids and gases to cooler ones. This causes the heated, less dense material to rise and more dense material to fall, as it’s pulled by gravity. Super-heated metal forming Earth’s central core heats rock in the mantle; the hot and cool rock slowly rise and sink- this circulation process is called mantle convection.

Sources of geothermal power are _____. not renewable dangerous to humans widely available polluting to waterways
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

widely available

Explanation:

Geothermal energy is widely available because it can be tapped almost anywhere across the globe. It only requires capturing the natural heat energy of the earth using heat pumps placed a few meters into the earth’s crust. Some regions are even better because they are geothermal hotspots such as in the Rift Valley and one doesnt need to drill that deep to capture this heat. Geothermal energy is renewable because it can't run out in humanity lifetime because the heat ultimately emanates from the earth’s core.

During transcription, RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template with the help of accessory proteins.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. True

Explanation:

The information to produce a protein is coded in the cells in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Transcription is the process in which a DNA sequence is copied into a ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequence. This RNA sequence is a messenger RNA (mRNA) because it will be then translated into a functional protein. For this, the DNA sequence is read and an RNA strand is synthesized by an RNA polymerase (an enzyme that synthesizes RNA molecules from a DNA template). During the process participate other proteins, such as DNA binding proteins, activators, coactivators, etc. (accessory proteins).
