In which layer is the temperature the lowest

Biology
2 answers:
Andrew [12]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Which of the following accurately describes carbon atoms?
Natasha2012 [34]


The best answer is D.

Carbon  has an affinity for bonding with other small atoms including other carbon atoms, via the formation of stable covalent  bonds.

In spite of the fact that carbon is present in a vast number of compounds, carbon is weakly reactive  compared to other elements.

It has the ability to form very long chains of strong and stable interconnecting  C-C bonds. This property allows carbon to form an almost infinite number of compounds. There are more known carbon-containing compounds than all the compounds of the other chemical elements  combined except those of hydrogen because almost all organic compounds contain hydrogen as well.
