The rate of change of the temperature of the Earth's surface is given to,
                                       90°F/mile
To determine the temperature x miles away from the surface, we multiply the depth by the given rate. This will give us the answer of,
                                  T = (90°F/mile)(90 mile)
                                      = 8100°F
Thus, the temperature 90 miles deep in the Earth's surface is equal to 8100°F.

What property of liquid oxygen makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home?
irga5000 [103]
The property of liquid oxygen that makes it especially difficult and potentially harmful to work with at home would be its cryogenic temperature. Liquid oxygen is being produced from the compression of oxygen gas to -196 degrees Celsius. As you can see, it has a very cold temperature that is why it used in cryogenics. Although liquid oxygen is non-toxic to humans, it would cause burns that are severe when being touched. Also, it would make certain materials brittle and unstable. Another property that makes it dangerous for use at home would be that it is very flammable. Proper handling is a must for this substance.

What kind of feature results from the convergence of two oceanic plates?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: When a convergent boundary occurs between two oceanic plates, one of those plates will subduct beneath the other. Normally the older plate will subduct because of its higher density. The subducting plate is heated as it is forced deeper into the mantle, and at a depth of about 100 miles (150 km) the plate begins to melt.

A glucose solution has a density of 1.02 g/ml. what is its specific gravity
Makovka662 [10]
Answer is: specific gravity of glucose is 1,02.
d(glucose) = 1,02 g/ml.
d(water) = 1,00 g/ml.
Specific gravity of glucose = density of glucose ÷ density of water.
Specific gravity of glucose = 1,02 g/ml ÷ 1,00 g/ml.
Specific gravity of glucose = 1,02.
Specific gravity<span> is the ratio of the </span>density<span> of a substance (in this case glucose) to the density of a reference substance (water).</span>
