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.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 8400 J

Explanation:

The formula referenced in the question is:

Q=m. c. \Delta T  

Where:

Q  is the thermal energy

m=100g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.1 kg is the mass  of the water sample

c=4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C}  is the specific heat capacity of  water

\Delta T=20\°C  is the variation in temperature

Solving:

Q=(0.1 kg)(4200 \frac{J}{kg\°C})(20\°C)  

Q=8400 J  This is the thermal energy released

Why does a mirror get misty after a shower??
masha68 [24]
This is because warm water vapor, suspended in the air, transforms back into water droplets as it cools. These small droplets collect on surrounding surfaces and are especially noticeable on materials such as glass since they distort light waves, making the mirror and windows appear foggy or misty

horsena [70]

Answer:

W = 2.3 10² F_{e}

Explanation:

The force of the weight is

         W = m g

         

let's use the concept of density

         ρ= m / v

the volume of a sphere is

         V = \frac{4}{3} π r³

         V = \frac{4}{3} π (1.0 10⁻³)³

         V = 4.1887 10⁻⁹ m³

the density of water ρ = 1000 kg / m³

          m = ρ V

          m = 1000 4.1887 10⁻⁹

          m = 4.1887 10⁻⁶ kg

therefore the out of gravity is

          W = 4.1887 10⁻⁶ 9.8

          W = 41.05 10⁻⁶ N

now let's look for the electric force

           F_e = q E

           F_e = 12 10⁻¹² 15000

           F_e = 1.8 10⁻⁷ N

         

the relationship between these two quantities is

          \frac{W}{F_e} = 41.05 10⁻⁶ / 1.8 10⁻⁷

           \frac{W}{F_e} = 2,281 10²

             

             W = 2.3 10² F_{e}

therefore the weight of the drop is much greater than the electric force
