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.

Compare the physical and chemical properties of a compound to those of the elements of which it is composed
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water H_2O

2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g+O_2(g)

Physical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during physical changes. Water is liquid at room temperature whereas hydrogen and oxygen are gases at room temperature.

Chemical property is defined as the property of a substance which becomes evident during chemical changes. Water reacts with metals to form bases, hydrogen reacts with metals to form hydrides and oxygen reacts with metals to form oxides.

Which membranes line the passageways that open to the exterior of the body, including those of the respiratory, digestive, repro
jenyasd209 [6]

Mucous membranes line the passageways that open to the exterior of the body, including those of the respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and urinary systems in the body.

A mucous membrane or mucosa is a membrane that lines various cavities in the body of an organism and covers the surface of internal organs. It consists of one or more layers of epithelial cells overlying a layer of loose connective tissue.

It is mostly of endodermal origin and is continuous with the skin at body openings such as the eyes, eyelids, ears, inside the nose, inside the mouth, lips, the genital areas, the urethral opening and the anus. Some mucous membranes secrete mucus, a thick protective fluid. The function of the membrane is to stop pathogens and dirt from entering the body and to prevent bodily tissues from becoming dehydrated.

One of its functions is to keep the tissue moist (for example in the respiratory tract, including the mouth and nose).  It also plays a role in absorbing and transforming nutrients.  

Mucous membranes also protect the body from itself. For instance, mucosa in the stomach protects it from stomach acid and mucosa lining the bladder protects the underlying tissue from urine. In the uterus, the mucous membrane is called the endometrium, and it swells each month and is then eliminated during menstruation.
