For much of the last quarter century, the leading theory of the driving force behind tectonic plate motions envisaged large scale convection currents in the upper mantle, which can be transmitted through the asthenosphere.

Express the answer in scientific notation. What is the pressure, in N/m2, at a depth of 50 km in the continental crust?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1.422\times 10^9 N/m²

Explanation:

pressure (P) =  ρ g h

where ρ= density of continental crust

          g= acceleration due to gravity

          h is the depth given

density of continental crust is equal to 2.9 g/cm³

    = \frac{2.9\times 10^{-3}}{10^{-6} } =2.9\times 10^3 kg/m^3

g=9.81 m/s²

height = 50,000 m

now,

pressure (P) = ρ g h

pressure (P) =2.9\times 10^3\times 9.81\times 50000

                    =1.422\times 10^9 N/m²
