What mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere

Physics
2 answers:
ipn [44]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Juan and Kuri are on a carousel. Juan is closer to the center of the carousel than Kuri. Which statement describes their tangent
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

Explanation:

Since Juan is closer to the center and Kuri is away from the center so we can say that Juan will move smaller distance in one complete revolution

As we know that the distance moved in one revolution is given as

d = 2\pi r

also the time period of revolution for both will remain same as they move with the time period of carousel

Now we can say that the speed is given as

v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

so Juan will have less tangential speed. so correct answer will be

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

The common value for the speed of light in a vacuum is:
OLEGan [10]

The common value for “Speed of light in vacuum” is \bold{3 \times 10^{8}}  metre per second.

Answer: Option b

<u>Solution: </u>

Speed of light can be defined as the speed with which light waves propagate in different medium. In vacuum, speed of light is 186,282 miles per second or 299,792 km/s which is rounded off as 3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}.

“Speed of light in vacuum” is a universal constant and usually represented by ‘c’. Light waves travels at a speed of 3 \times 10^{8}  metre per second in vacuum.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sun - - - - - Earth----Capital building----Human----Atom

The sun would exert more gravitational force because it is the massive.

Gravitational force is directly proportional to mass.
