Geography

Mars' atmosphere is made mostly of carbon dioxide, much like Venus. It is not as hot as Venus because the Martian atmosphere is extremely thin. Venus has a thick layer of carbon dioxide gas surrounding the planet. This is why it is the hottest planet in the solar system even though it is not the closest to the sun. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas so it has the ability to trap infrared radiation. The atmosphere on Mars is thin and so it will not trap as much heat as the Venusian atmosphere.

HELP QUICK!! What role do Heat and Pressure play in Earth’s Interior play in the cycling of matter?
ZanzabumX [31]

Heath and pressure manage to move the material between the bottom and top part of the mantle, causing currents, and affecting the surface of Earth.

Explanation:

The heat and the pressure are crucial for the cycling of matter on our planet. This process happens in the mantle layer. The lower part of the mantle is hotter because of the higher influence by the core, while the upper part is not as hot (though very hot for surface standards). This causes the material in the upper part to be more solid and denser, which in turn causes it to sink toward the bottom. As this material sinks the hotter and less dense one from the bottom is pushed upward. This creates the convection currents.

As the material from the bottom moves upward it comes in contact with the lithosphere. It puts a lot of pressure on it and supported by the heat manages to crack it, which created the tectonic plates. Because of the constant pressure the tectonic plates are pushed and moved on the surface of Earth. On some places (subduction zones) the crust from the surface sinks into the mantle, while from the mantle we have rise of magma toward the surface, so the material is constantly circling and being recycled.

Which best describes the difference between a seismograph and seismogram?
harina [27]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The difference between a seismograph and seismogram is that a seismograph is the instrument that detects and records volcanic activity, while a seismogram is the written record of that activity. Hope this answers the question.
