Compared to the surrounding material, mantle plumes rise toward Earth’s surface from the core-mantle

Anestetic [448]3 years ago

Compared to the surrounding material, mantle plumes rise towards the Earth's surface from the core-mantle boundary because they are hotter and less dense (3) than the surrounding material.  A mantle plume is a large column of hot rock that rises through the earth's mantle. This plume is hot enough to cause the rocks in the lower lithosphere to melt. When the plume reaches the bottom of the lithosphere, it spreads out forming a mushroom shape cap. The lithosphere is then pushed up and stretched out. This forms magma chambers which feed the surrounding surface volcanos.

What do comets and asteroids have in common? They are made of ice. They orbit the Sun. They are made of metal debris. They are a
viva [34]

Answer:

<em>They orbit the Sun.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Asteroids are small planetary bodies, too small to be classified as a planet. Asteroids are made up of rocky materials, and they orbit the sun. In our solar system, a vast number of asteroids exists together in the 'great asteroid belt' a region between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter. A comet is a ball of frozen gas, rocks and dusts, that travels around the sun in the solar system. Comets can be as big as a small town. When the orbit of a comet brings it close to the sun, it melts, leaving a trail of gas behind it. This trail of gas is the characteristic long tail of a wishing star seen in the sky in some clear night.

<em>The common property of a comet and an asteroid is that they both travel around the sun in the solar system, just like every other planetary  body in the solar system.</em>

What are some ways in which the Chang Jiang influences human system in China
Zinaida [17]
The flow of the Chang Jiang is some 20 times greater than that of the Huang He. As much of 40% of China's total grain production, 70% of rice output, and more than 40% of the population are associated with the Chang Jiang's vast basin that includes more than 3,000 tributaries. With its numerous tributaries, the Chang Jiang drains nearly 20% of China's total area. Its upper reaches tap the uplands of the Tibetan Plateau before sweeping across the enormous and agriculturally productive Sichuan Basin that supports nearly 10% of China's total population. It is in the middle course of the Chang Jiang that the controversial Three Gorges Dam is being constructed.
