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 element would you expect to have a full valence shell?
kipiarov [429]

Answer;

-Noble gases or Group 18 elements

Explanation;

A full valence shell is the most stable electron configuration. Group 18 elements or noble gases such as helium, neon, and argon, have a full outer, or valence, shell. Elements in other groups have partially-filled valence shells and gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

They are extremely unreactive and do not form bonds with themselves. Solid helium is the the ultimate fine powder being monotomic.

<h2>Koch's postulates </h2>

Explanation:

Koch formulated a set of criteria that could be used to identify the pathogen responsible for a specific disease and these criteria came to be known as Koch’s postulates:

The organism must be regularly associated with the disease and its characteristic lesions

The organism must be isolated from the diseased host and grown in culture

The disease must be reproduced when a pure culture of the organism is introduced into a healthy, susceptible host

The same organism must be re-isolated from the experimentally infected host

In the given hypothesis , Koch's postulates could be used as:

1) identify pathogen associated with disease 2) isolate or purify pathogen 3) test subject gets pathogen 4) same disease/ causes liver disease or not

dezoksy [38]
<span>The types of skeleton depend on where they are located. Earthworms have hydroskeleton because their rigid bodies are based on water pressure so it's hydro then. Endo is found in animals like birds and also humans who have it inside. Exo is found in spiders because they are bugs and bugs have their skeletons like a shell that covers them.</span>

Why are all bacteria classified as prokaryotes?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Prokaryotes are simple cells that lack a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. A nucleus is a type of organelle that holds DNA. In prokaryotes, however, their DNA floats in the cytoplasm in a nuclear region rather than being contained in a nucleus.
