Question: Which statement best explains why Earth’s outer core is in liquid form?

The iron-nickel alloy melts due to hot temperatures.

The outer core has a tarry consistency.

This region is less dense when compared to the mantle.

This region is under extreme pressure from the weight of other layers.

Answer:

The statement here that bet describes the Earth's outer core is in liquid form " The iron-nickel alloy melts due to hot temperatures."

Explanation:

The outer core of the Earth's is made up of fluid layer which is about 2400 km thick and basically made from iron as well as nickel alloy. This layer lies just above the solid inner core and below it mantle is present. The core of the Earth works like a furnace for the whole composition. It holds the intense heat as well as pressure that helps is maintaining the iron and nickel in the molten state.

luda_lava [24]

The earths surface is heated by the Sun's rays which are directed at the equator 0° latitude. If there were sea currents the closer you got to the equator the hotter it will get and the further away you go from the equator the colder it will get. Thus ocean currents distribute the heat at the equator around the earths oceans to even out the difference in the heat zones, so that the equator is not a desert and the rest of the earth is an ice age.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

All the above

Explanation:

The plate boundary is the result of movements in the latest either through the divergence, convergence or the formation transform or rift valleys. The occurrence of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the zones of mountain belts and various other events led to the volcanic arcs.

A Mountain belt-like system of the Himalayas in Northern India is a result of the orogenic upliftment of sediments bright from the Tethys sea and splitting of the Indian subcontinent from the Australian plate to collide with the Eurasian plate.

A continental volcanic arc forms due to the lava a magma that originates in the form mantle plums produced due to the burning of the lighter plate over the oceanic plate and volcanoes like the Andes form when the slab pulls the plate to the deep trenches.

And the san Andreas fault in California is a transform fault with dextral movements on both sides as the landmass is drifting westwards.
