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.

For 1983 through 1989, the per capita consumption
Tresset [83]

Answer:

y = 43.55 + 2.15t

Explanation:

We were told that in 1983, the per capita consumption was 37.1 pounds, and in 1989 it was 50 pounds.

If we assume t = 0 corresponds to year 1980. Then, for 1983 it will be t = 3 and for 1989,it will be t = 9.

Thus, expressing the information as ordered pairs, we have; (3,37. 1) and (9,50).

Let us now find slope of the linear function:

m1 = (y2 - y1)/(t2 - t1)

m1 = (50 - 37.1)/(9 - 3)

m1 = 2.15

So, we can find the linear equation as;

y - 37.1 = 2.15(t - 3)

y = 37.1 + 2.15t - 6.45

y = 43.55 + 2.15t

220V is applied to two different conductors made of the same material. One conductor is twice as long and twice as thick as the
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

For calculating resistance of a conductor , the formula is

R = ρ l / A , ρ is specific resistance , l is length and A is cross sectional area of wire.

For first wire length is l₁ , area is A₁ resistance is R₁, for second resistance is R₂ , length is l₂ and area is A₂

Given , l₁ = 2l₂ , A₁ = 4A₂ , area is proportional to square of thickness.

R₁ / R₂ = I₁A₂ / I₂A₁

= 2l₂ x A₁ / 4 I₂A₁

= 1 / 2

2R₁ = R₂

Power = V² / R

Ratio of power = (V² / R₁) x (R₂ / V²)

= R₂ / R₁

= 2 .
