Answer:

Geothermal gradient

Explanation:

The thermal gradient is often defined as the rate of increase in temperature with respect to the increase in the subsurface depth. This accounts for more than 50% of the total heat energy of the earth. The geothermal gradient is approximately 25° C/km beneath the earth's surface. This heat results from the decay of the radioactive elements that are at great depths. In addition to this, the latent heat is also produced due to the crystallization of the core. Due to this heat energy, that is transmitted to the upper mantle, the plates are able to move over the layer of the Asthenosphere.  

This heat energy obtained from the interior of the earth is known as geothermal energy.

Explain the difference between how intrusive and extrusive igneous rock form and how those formation processes affect the minera
rusak2 [61]

Extrusive molten rocks are formed from lava while the intrusive molten rocks are formed from magma.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Extrusive molten rocks originate from lava, framing at the outside of the Earth and cooling rapidly, which means they structure little precious stones. Intrusive volcanic rocks originate from magma, shaping profound underground and taking more time to cool, which means they structure bigger crystals.

Intrusive molten rocks are framed when magma cools gradually underneath the surface, while extrusive rocks are shaped when magma cools quickly at the surface.

7) A kite 50 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 4 ft/sec. At what rate is the length of the string increasing
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Imagine a right triangle where the legs represent the horizontal and vertical lengths of the string and the hypotenuse represents the length of the string.

Let us assign some values:

x = horizontal length in feet

50 = vertical length in feet

L = length of the string in feet

Because we are modeling these quantities with a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to relate them with the following equation:

L² = x² + 50²

We want to find an equation for the change of L over time, so first differentiate both sides with respect to time t then solve for dL/dt:

2L(dL/dt) = 2x(dx/dt)

dL/dt = (x/L)(dx/dt)

First let's solve for x at the moment in time described in the problem using the Pythagorean theorem:

L² = x² + 50²

Given values:

L = 100ft

Plug in and solve for x:

100² = x² + 50²

x = 86.6ft

Now let's find dL/dt. Given values:

x = 86.6ft, L = 100ft, dx/dt = 4ft/sec

Plug in and solve for dL/dt:

dL/dt = (86.6/100)(4)

dL/dt = 3.46ft/sec
