Why is iron significant to understanding how a supernova occurs?

Geography
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

Iron cannot release energy either by fission or fusion.

Explanation:

When a high-mass star runs out of hydrogen inside its core, it starts burning helium, and then heavier elements until it reaches iron.

Nuclear fusion of iron cannot occur, because the amount of energy required for the fusion of two nuclei of iron is larger than the energy released.

Therefore, when all the lighter elements lighter than iron have already fuse together, the star cannot burn any other element, so the nuclear fusion inside the core stops and the star collapses on itself, producing a huge explosion known as supernova.

Five largest cities in the US

1. Alabama

2. Alaska

3. Arizona

4. Arkansas

5. California

Explanation:

Physical features of these cities

1. Alabama: Montgomery is the state capital and site of many landmark civil rights events, like the Montgomery bus boycotts throughout 1955 and 1956 and the Selma-to-Montgomery March for voting rights in 1965.

The nation’s oldest baseball field, Rickwood Field, which opened in 1910, is located in Birmingham.

2. Arizona: Phoenix is the most populous state capital with approximately 1.5 million people living there. According to the National Climatic Data Center, the sun shines on Phoenix for 85 percent of its daylight hours.

3. Arkansas: Little Rock became the capital of the territory of Arkansas in 1821. The name “little rock” comes from the French explorer Bernard de la Harpe. In 1722, he saw rock formations jutting out from the Ouachita Mountains and named one group the big rock and the other the little rock.

4. California: this is the third largest city in the United States. California boasts mountains that are visible from just about anywhere in the state. Two main mountain ranges dominate: the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Range. The Coast Range runs from the northwest all the way down to the Mexican border, across 800 miles of terrain.

what would happen if igneous rock was first exposed to energy from the sun and then millions of years later to energy from Earth
inysia [295]

Answer:They would become igneous rocks

Explanation:

If originally, sedimentary rocks are exposed to energy from the sun, no changes will occur to them.

One will hardly spot any difference in their mineralogical composition as such.

The temperature of the sun does not any significant alteration on earth materials.

The heat from the interior has a very significant effect on rocks, especially sedimentary rocks.

Heat from the interior can reach a staggering 6000°C which is more than enough to cause a metamorphic change in a body rock.

In fact, at this temperature, igneous rock will be produced from the sedimentary rock.
