What mechanical layer lies below the lithosphere

Physics

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.

1. A toy car is marked to go at 0.5m/s, which of the following sets of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

b. 0.6m/s, 0.7m/s, 0.61m/s, 0.62m/s

Explanation:

Precision of a measurement is the closeness of the experimental values to one another. Hence, experimental measurements are said to be precise if they are close to each other irrespective of how close they are to the accepted value. Precision can be determined by finding the range of each experimental value. The measurement with the LOWEST RANGE represents the MOST PRECISE.

Note: Range is the highest value - lowest value

Set A: 1.5 - 0.8 = 0.7

Set B: 0.7 - 0.6 = 0.1

Set C: 2.4 - 2.0 = 0.4

Set D: 3.1 - 2.9 = 0.2

Set B has the lowest range (0.1), hence, represent the most precise value.

A very small sphere with positive charge 5.00uC is released from rest at a point 1.20cm from a very long line of uniform linear

Let us situate this on the x axis, and let our uniform line of charge be positioned on the interval <span>(−L,0]</span> for some large number L. The voltage V as a function of x on the interval <span>(0,∞)</span> is given by integrating the contributions from each bit of charge. Let the charge density be λ.

Which is a negative effect of deforestation on the environment? A. habitat restoration B. desertification C. soil production D.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities. Greatly accelerated by human activities since 1960, deforestation has been negatively affecting natural ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the annual rate of deforestation to be around 1.3 million km2 per decade.
