Why do geologists think earth's core contains mostly iron?

This is due to the fact of the large range of the magnetosphere, the magnetic field of the earth. It can only be caused by metal moving in currents. It is strong enough to point compasses in the right direction, but not enough to stick frying pans to the floor, unfortunately.

<u>Answer:</u>

The geologists think that earth's core mostly contain iron because earth has a powerful magnetic field which is because of the molten iron in the core. The constant movement of molten iron in the core causes an electrical current inside the planet which results into the generation of magnetic field which reaches far out into the space. This magnetic field also helps to shield the people living in this planet from the harmful solar radiations.

Coastal climates are usually more moderate than inland climates. This is primarily due to which of water's characteristics? high
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

High specific heat capacity  

Explanation:

For the same temperature change, a body of water (with a high specific heat capacity) can absorb a larger amount of heat than the land (with a small specific heat capacity)

Thus, the seasonal temperature of the sea varies over a relatively narrow range.

However, the temperature of the land shows wider seasonal variations.

In summer, the cooler water keeps land areas relatively cool. In winter, the water is warmer than the land, so it keeps land areas relatively warn.

Thus, coastal climates are usually more moderate than inland climates.  

For example, Winnipeg and St. John's are two Canadian cities close to the 49th parallel.

Winnipeg, in central Canada, has average temperatures of -18 °C in January and 27 °C in July, a range of 45 °C.

The corresponding temperatures for St. John's, 3000 km to the east on the Atlantic coast, are -8 °C and 21 °C, a range of 29 °C

Given parameters:

  Length of the side of a cube  = 3cm

Unknown:

Diagonal of the cube = ?

Solution:

To find the diagonal of a cube, we use the expression below;

   d  = a\sqrt{3}  

a is the length of the side of the cube
