Answer:

The core: this structure of the terrestrial world is made up of sulphur, iron, silicon and it is found at the centre of the terrestrial world.

The mantle: this structure of the terrestrial world is located between the outer core and the crust and consist of mainly silicate rock.

The crust: this is the structure of the terrestrial world that makes up the outermost layer. It consist of granite and basalt.

Differentiation: this is the process by which gravity separates materials according to density, with high-density materials sinking and low-density materials rising.

Lithosphere: this is made up of the hard and rigid outer layer of the terrestrial planet and it's located between the crust and the outermost mantel.

The five terrestrial worlds includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The largest which includes the Venus and Earth has the thinnest lithosphere while the smallest ( mercury and moon) have the thickest lithosphere.

For al, its atomic number is 13 and its mass number is 27. how many neutrons does it have
kherson [118]
Atomic number is the same number as the amount of protons. Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons: the two sub-atomic particles only found in the atomic nucleus. Number of neutrons is equal to atomic mass (z) - atomic number (n), so 27-13=14 neutrons

How long does it take a bird to fly 2.5 km if a bird can fly 23km/h?
Lina20 [59]
Time = Distance / speed

Time =  2.5 km / 23 km/h

         = 0.1087 hours                      1 hour = 60 minutes
         =  0.1087 * 60 minutes
         =  6.522 minutes.
