Where does the heat come from that drives this convection current in the mantle

Physics
1 answer:
marta [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Earth's interior (Core)

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of 3 distinct layers namely the Core, the Mantle and the Crust, which are divided based on their composition as well as density.

The core of the earth is extremely very hot where the inner core remains solid and outer core acts a liquid. It is mainly comprised of iron, nickel and other siderophile elements.

A large amount of heat (energy) is radiated from this core region towards the surface of the earth. Due to this, the mantle rocks forms magma that creates the convection currents, where the hot and less dense magma rises upward and the cool and denser magma sinks to the bottom. This occurs continuously, as a result of which the lithospheric plates are forced to move over the less dense layer of asthenosphere.

Thus, the heat energy that drives the convection current in the mantle is provided from the interior (core) of the earth.

katen-ka-za [31]

Magnetic fields

Explanation:

The presence of magnetic fields  best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing certain metals.

  • Magnetic fields are lines of forces around a bar magnet.
  • These lines of forces attracts and repels other magnetic bodies and metallic bodies round it.
  • Magnetic lines of forces originates at the north pole and enters in the south pole.
  • Areas around a magnetic body are bounded by force fields.
  • A magnet has permanent magnetic fields round it.

Given the reaction: N2(g) +2O2(g) ⇌ 2NO2(g) The forward reaction is endothermic. Determine which of the following changes would
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A. I and V

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing the product side will cause the equilibrium to shift back towards the reactant side, so I is true.  By the same principle, II is false.

For gases, decreasing the pressure will cause the equilibrium to shift towards the side with higher number of moles.  So V is true.

The reaction is endothermic, so increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the products, so IV is false.  And adding a catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium, so III is false.

The surface of the Sun has a temperature of about 5 800 K. If the radius of the Sun is 7 × 108 m, determine the power output of
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a. 3.95\times10^{26}W

Explanation:

T = temperature of the surface of sun = 5800 K

r = Radius of the Sun = 7 x 10⁸ m

A = Surface area of the Sun

Surface area of the sun is given as

A = 4\pi r^{2} \\A = 4(3.14) (7\times10^{8})^{2}\\A = 6.2\times10^{18} m^{2}

e = Emissivity = 1

\sigma = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Using Stefan's law, Power output of the sun is given as

P = \sigma e AT^{4} \\P = (5.67\times10^{-8}) (1) (6.2\times10^{18}) (5800)^{4}\\P = 3.95\times10^{26} W
