Ber [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Lower viscosity and low gas content mean higher temperature of magma.

Explanation:

Viscosity of magma, the resistance to flow depends on composition of the magma and temperature. Higher silica content means higher viscosity. But lower temperatures and low gas content mean higher viscosity.

Viscosity is the resistance to flow (opposite of fluidity). Viscosity depends on primarily on the composition of the magma, and temperature. Higher SiO2 (silica) content magmas have higher viscosity than lower SiO2 content magmas (viscosity increases with increasing SiO2 concentration in the magma).

The earth's interior heat and pressure drive mantle convection. This is the power that drives _____, the main force behind earth
Katen [24]

The correct answer is - plate tectonics.

The convection currents in the mantle, are having very high temperatures and very high pressures. Because of that, they managed to crack the crust, and thus divide the surface of the Earth in multiple peaces, or as we call them, tectonic plates. The very high pressure from bellow manages to push the tectonic plates in certain direction, and even though that movement is only a couple of cm per year, on the long term it has huge effects on everything on the planet.

Why is the law of superposition helpful in correlating rock layers?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: The Law of Superposition, which states that in an undisturbed horizontal sequence of rocks, the oldest rock layers will be on the bottom, with successively younger rocks on top of these, helps geologists correlate rock layers around the world.

Differentiate between Climate and Weather​
trapecia [35]

The differences are

Climate: are in regular font. Weather are in italics.

Definition Describes the average conditions expected at a specific place at a given time.A region's climate is generated by the climate system, which has five components: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, land surface, and biosphere. <em>Describes the atmospheric conditions at a specific place at a specific point in time. Weather generally refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity</em>

Components Climate may include precipitation, temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind velocity, phenomena such as fog, frost, and hail storms over a long period of time. <em>Weather includes sunshine, rain, cloud cover, winds, hail, snow, sleet, freezing rain, flooding, blizzards, ice storms, thunderstorms, steady rains from a cold front or warm front, excessive heat, heat waves and more</em>

About Climate is defined as statistical weather information that describes the variation of weather at a given place for a specified interval. <em>Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term (minutes to weeks) variation</em>

Time period Measured over a long period <em>Measured for short term</em>

Study Climatology. <em>Meteorology</em>
