Name three minerals that are abundant in both oceanic and continental crust

Biology
2 answers:
MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Silicon, Magnesium and Aluminum

Explanation:

    The continental crust is formed essentially of alumina silicates (hence it was formerly called sial) and has an overall composition similar to that of granite. It is 25 to 50 km thick and the primary seismic waves propagate at 5.5 km / s.

   The oceanic crust is composed essentially of basalt, formed by magnesian silicates (hence formerly called sima). It is 5 to 10 km thick and is denser than the continental crust because it contains more iron.

Which observation would most seriously challenge the hypothesis that most noncoding DNA is slightly deleterious?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Species with larger population sizes have more noncoding DNA.

Explanation:

The statement that most non-coding DNA is deleterious contradicts the fact that Species with larger population sizes have more noncoding DNA. Had the non coding been deleterious , its proportion in species with larger population would have been less but the fact that species with larger population sizes have more noncoding DNA contradicts it.

Jackie and Kim are each holding one end of a rope. Jackie moves her end quickly up and down. The rope moves up and down, as show
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: A wave

Explanation: Waves move in that kind of up and down motion, a circuit is a straight line with energy flowing through it, a magnet is a pulling effect and a prism is a shape, not necessarily a motion.

Hope this helps ^_^
