Answer: The layer below the lithosphere lies the Asthenosphere.

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is a viscous layer, in which the rocks are solid but has the ability to slightly flow due to deformation. This layer plays a very significant role in the plate tectonic movement, which initiates the motion of the lithospheric crust, due to the generation of the convection current at the mantle. It is present in the upper part of the mantle.

The internal heat from the core of the earth radiates to the mantle, and the magma at the mantle gets heated up and become less dense and rises up, and this magma when reaches on the upper part of the mantle, near the surface, gets cools down and become more dense, and sinks. This continuous circulation of magma in the mantle region is known as the convection current.

Answer:

4000 km

Explanation:

as we know velocity of electromagnetic wave is c

$c = 3 * 10^8 m/s$

frequency given (f) = 76 Hz

wavelength ?

using

$c =f$ λ

λ = $\frac{c}{f}$

λ = $\frac{3 * 10^8}{76}$ ≈4000 km

so final answer λ = 4000km

The three components of velocity in a velocity field are given by u = Ax + By + Cz, v = Dx + Ey + Fz, and w = Gx + Hy + Jz. Dete

Answer:

The relationship is only between the coefficients A, E and J which is:

$A + E + J = 0$ . The remaining coefficients can be anything without any constraints.

Explanation:

Given:

The three components of velocity is a velocity field are given as:

$u = Ax + By + Cz\\\\v = Dx + Ey + Fz\\\\w = Gx + Hy + Jz$

The fluid is incompressible.

We know that, for an incompressible fluid flow, the sum of the partial derivatives of each component relative to its direction is always 0. Therefore,

$\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0$

Now, let us find the partial derivative of each component.

$\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial }{\partial x}(Ax+By+Cz)\\\\\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=A+0+0=A\\\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial }{\partial y}(Dx+Ey+Fz)\\\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0+E+0=E\\\\\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=\frac{\partial }{\partial z}(Gx+Hy+Jz)\\\\\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0+0+J=J$

Hence, the relationship between the coefficients is:

$A+E+J=0$

There is no such constraints on other coefficients. So, we can choose any value for the remaining coefficients B, C, D, F, G and H.
