In which layer is the temperature the lowest

Biology
2 answers:
Andrew [12]3 years ago

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The interior of the earth is comprised of different layers. The crust is the outermost layer of the earth and is divided into the continental and the oceanic crust. The thickness of the oceanic crust is about 7-10 km whereas the thickness of the continental crust ranges from 35-40 km.

<u>The density of this crust is the minimum in comparison to the mantle and the core and is about 2.8 g/cm³.</u> <u>This density is quite less due to the decreasing temperature within the crust. As the depth increases, density increases. Therefore, the temperature also extensively increases</u>.

The temperature is the maximum in the inner core and the <u>minimum in the crust</u>.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The temperature is lowest at the crust. As you get lower into the Earth's surface, the temperature gets hotter.

Delvig [45]
Are there any statements given for this assignment? Because according to what I know, alligators and crocodiles are more related to birds because of archosaurian origins. However, crocodiles are more closely related to birds than snakes because the evolution of birds  from having snouts to beaks are slightly evident in crocodiles for they have more pointly snouts.

True or False? : A good scientific experiment will only test one variable. Everything else will be kept constant.

True! because if you have more than one variable, you aren’t going to know which variable changed the dependent variable.

1. Action potential reaches the axon terminal and depolarizes it.

2. Depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels, enabling influx of Ca into the neuron.

3. Calcium binds to specialized proteins on vesicles (containing pre-made acetylcholine) and triggers them to fuse with the neuron membrane at the synapse.

4. Exocytosis of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft occurs.

5. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synapse and binds to nicotinic receptors on the end plate of the myocyte.

6. Activated nicotinic receptors, themselves ion channels, cause cation influx into the myocyte and generate an end plate potential. This eventually gives rise to the full depolarization within the myocyte that enables contraction.
