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

Geography

ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago

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.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

pollution raises the mercury levels in sea food and causes acidification. And humans eat seafood. A way to offset such a thing would be have car run on propane we see other countries doing this. Although not perfect it would drastically lower the pollution. And no new infrastructure is needed.

Hurricanes are bad or people but are good for nature. It is nature's way of cooling off. But a solution for hurricane mitigation would be a change of building code permits and regulations. And quality control. If we change what building materials we are allowed to use where its prone to hurricanes. there would be a big difference.

This is worth 24 pointWhich is not evidence that Wegener used to support his theory of continental drift?
marishachu [46]

There's a subtle point involved here that I'll try to explain, and
I hope you catch my explanation:

A real scientist does NOT "use evidence to support his theory". 
That would mean that he dreamed up his theory, then he went
around observing the world and nature, and he wrote down and
took pictures of things he saw that supported his theory, and he
ignored anything that didn't support it.  This is exactly how science
does NOT work.  Anybody who operates that way is  laughed out
of science and you never hear about him again.

The way science works is exactly the opposite:  The curious
investigator observes the world and the things around him. He
sees how things actually work.  That's the 'evidence'.  Eventually
he comes to the point where he's ready to build a theory of WHY
or HOW things work the way they actually do. 

The theory is built to explain the evidence.  The evidence is not
used to support a theory.   And after the theory is offered, the next
step is to test the theory and see if it's worth anything.

Wegener observed that m<span>ountain chains are continuous across
continents, and he learned that similar fossils have been found
on different continents.  When he saw these and other facts, he
eventually offered the theory of continental drift, to EXPLAIN the
evidence.

I only see 5 points.  Where are the other 19 ?
