Answer:
A. nuclear fusion reactions
C. it's still hot from the big bang
Explanation:
The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:
- Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
- Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
- Heating due to friction
These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.
PE = mgh
where
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
The correct option is (D) Gamma (

)
Explanation:Now this question is a tricky one because all of these options are somehow involved in radioactive decay; however, in this case the SYMBOL is required NOT the elements. There are three symbols involved in radioactive decay, which are:
1. α for alpha decay
2. β for beta decay
3. γ for gamma decay
In the options only one symbol is present which is
gamma. Hence option (D) Gamma ( 
) is the correct answer.
-i
Answer:
When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
