The __________ is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the Earth.

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is D. Exosphere

Exosphere is the outermost Layer of the Atmosphere that goes out about 500 - 10,000 Km in altitude.

It's the place where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the earth. Because it's difficult to define the boundary between exosphere and the outer space, exosphere may be considered as a part of outer space

Answer:

Q. 41. Basaltic Lava, Q.43. Basaltic magma Q.44. False

Explanation:

Basalt is a mafic extrusive igneous rock, formed by the rapid cooling of Mg and Fe rich lava, exposed at or near the surface of the earth. Thus forming about 90% of the surface lava on earth.

Shield Volcanoes emit lava or magma in the form of viscous basaltic lava. Highly explosive.

Greenland and Antarctica together constitute the 99% of the earth ice caps so, Greenland has about 80% cover as compared to antarctic 98% and both are depleting fast.

Identify the true statement. Choose one: A. The angle of repose is the steepest angle at which unconsolidated sediments can sit

Margarita [4]

Answer:

A. The angle of repose is the steepest angle at which unconsolidated sediments can sit without slipping downhill

Explanation:

The angle of repose is the steepest angle at which unconsolidated sediment can be piled without sliding downward. The angle is also known as critical angle . At this angle the unconsolidated sediments are at the verge of slumping . The angle between the surface of the piled sediments and the horizontal surface is the angle of the repose. At this angle the unconsolidated sediments have reached it limit of accommodating more materials unless it will slump downward.

The make up of the unconsolidated sediments can affect the angle of repose as rounded and fined gained rocks cannot be piled as rough texture d rock materials. The angle of repose can also be affected by the amount of solvents in the sediment. Various rocks sediments possess different angle of repose. Same sediment material can possess different angle of repose if the water contents varies .Example, the angle of repose for sand varies depending on the water contents. The true statement is option A.

The picture above illustrate the angle of repose.
