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.

24) Most of the precipitation that falls onto Earth's surface ________. A) is already unusable because of acid rain B) evaporate
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:C) either runs off to form rivers or filters down into underground aquifers

Explanation:Precipitation is any form of moisture which falls to the earth. This includes rain, snow, hail and sleet. Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches saturation point (also known as condensation point and dew point) the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water.

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail. ... Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called "showers."
