The layers will be denser as you move from the crust to the inner core.
The density are as the following:
crust (2.55 g/cm³)
upper mantle (3.9 g/cm³)
lower mantle (5 g/cm³)
outer core (11.05 g/cm³)
inner core (12.95 g/cm³)
Thus we can also see that the inner core is the densest layer.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
C. When the oceanic lithosphere, which is more dense, sinks and pulls the plate with it
Explanation:
Slab pull and other mechanisms are responsible for the motion of plates. Every tectonic plate is driven by mantle convection.
- Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids.
- It is as a result of differences in density and temperature values.
- The oceanic crust is denser and colder.
- As hot magma from deep within the subsurface rises and move through cracks, the oceanic lithosphere is drawn down and deeper.
- This cycling between the cold lithosphere and hot rising plumes provides the mechanism that drives plate motion.
Answer:
The horse latitudes= high pressure zones located about 30 degrees north and south of the equator.
The westerlies =blow from the west and bring storms across much of the us
The easterlies =blows from the east brings air from the polar regions towards the mid latitudes
The trade winds= strong steady winds that blow from the east
Doldrums= lone pressure zone near the equator
Explanation:
The Rio Grande is not shared by the United States and Canada.
I think it might be called the "tail." I might be getting this mixed up with a comet, but I THINK(emphasis on think ^^') they're similar in that aspect?? Sorry if this didn't help.
