At what depth(km) would a rock experience temperature of 5500C?

Biology
1 answer:
kow [346]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

A rock would experience a temperature of 5500°C is about the core which is at a depth of 220km.

But let us use the earth's geothermal gradient to solve this problem.

The geothermal gradient is the rate at which temperature is increasing with depth.

The geothermal gradient 25°C/km

        At 5500°C,

               5500°C x  \frac{1}{25}  \frac{k}{C}  =    220km

But this is not so in nature, there are other heat sources that contributes to increasing temperature with depth such as radioactive heat and frictional heat.

Which feature of earth is created at mid ocean ridges
777dan777 [17]

The correct answer is - underwater mountain ranges.

The mid-ocean ridges are actually underwater mountain ranges, which usually are very long, in fact the longest mountain range on Earth is created on the divergent boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates and between the African and South American tectonic plates. At the divergent tectonic boundaries we have the creation of new crust which rises from the mantle and fills in the gap between the tectonic plates. Because of the big amount of magma and high pressure, very big and long underwater mountain ranges are formed.

Which of the following statements about wings is true?
svp [43]

Answer:

Option (A), (B), (D) and (E).

Explanation:

Wings are present in class Aves that helps the birds to fly. Wings provides the means of locomotion and also allow the sexual selection in case of birds. The wings are the modified forelimb of birds.

The bats wings are ancestral whereas birds have derived wings. Birds and reptiles (turtle) mostly have ancestor with wings. On the basis of wings we cannot construct a phylogeny tree. Hence, wings are not the ideal characteristics for the construction of a phylogenetic tree.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A), (B), (D) and (E).
