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

Biology
2 answers:
MatroZZZ [7]2 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.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Hydrogen Bonds

Explanation:

In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the temperature rises to 90 ° C - 95 ° C, to break the hydrogen bonds, which are the types of bonds responsible for pairing the two strands of DNA, this process is known as denaturation of DNA.

The DNA is extremely stable, due to a large number of bonds (hydrogen bonds) that form between the two strands. If the temperature decreases, these bonds will begin to recompose, until the DNA returns to its original state

Need Help due in a 1 hour : Earth Science
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

C). Seafloor spreading.

Explanation:

Paleomagnetism is characterized as the 'study of the account of direction and strength of magnetic fields of the Earth in sediments, rocks, etc.' The hypothesis that was authenticated by using this study would be 'seafloor spreading' by displaying that magnetic reversal as strips of rotating polarity in gradually disseminating seafloor. This description of magnetic stripping by employing paleo-magnetism made the scientists believe that alternate crusts are being frequently made under ocean/sea. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
