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.

Show solution for # 4
velikii [3]
M1 = 750Kg, v1 = 10m/s
m2 = 2500Kg , v2= 0 (because in problem say cuz that object don t move).

The momentum before colision is equal with the momentum after colision:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1+m2)v3 => v3 is the velocity after colison and that s u want to caluclate for your problem

=> m1v1 = (m1+m2)v3 => v3 = m1v1/(m1+m2) now u should do the math i think v3 prox 2,4 but not sure u should caculate

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.
