What are the 3 main layers of the earth and what do they consist of

svlad2 [7]3 years ago

The 3 main layers are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust consists of everything you see- dirt, rock, minerals, and everything you can see. We live on the crust, and it floats around on the magma in pieces we call continents. The next layer is the mantle, which is where all the magma is- this is what the crust floats on. It consists of molten rock and minerals; the bottom layer of the crust is continually melting under the extreme heat, but it is replaced when volcanoes spew the magma back onto the surface. The last layer is the core, an extremely fast-spinning ball of heavy metals. It is split into two layers; inner and outer core. The outer core is mostly an alloy of nickel and iron with some other heavy metals thrown in, like platinum and gold, but the inner core is almost solid iron. It is so hot that it should be melted, but the pressure of everything on top of it makes it so it has nowhere to melt to, keeping it solid.
Hope this helps!!! ^_^

According to the overview, what three reasons are stated in Scripture for why God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ?
Annette [7]

Answer:

To die for the sins of the humans, to serve humanity and to set an example.

Explanation:

The birth of Jesus Christ as a human born of flesh and blood is a solution for the salvation of humanity from the wrath of God. The sins they had committed and the eternal da mnation that is upon them can only be saved by the death of the one and only son of the Almighty Father. So, with the need to save men from eternally cursed, God decided to provide a safe means of salvation for his children.

The primary reasons of why Jesus Christ came to earth, mentioned in the scriptures are as follows-

(a) To die for the sins of the humans.

Hebrews 2:14-15 says, "<em>Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death</em>".

(b) To serve humanity.

Hebrews 2:17 states that "<em>For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.</em>"

(c) To set an example.

Hebrews 2: 18 says "<em>Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.</em>"

identify a challenge faced by Louisiana as it became a state and explain why the challenge had to be overcome in order for Louis
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Louisiana had a difficult road to statehood because of disagreements over the western boundaries of the state with colonial Mexico and cultural differences with the United States.

Explanation:

President James Madison signed Louisiana into statehood with a bill dated April 30, 1812. This made Louisiana 18th state. However, in the interim between the Lousiana Purchase in 1803 and statehood in 1812, some difficulties arose like the western border dispute between Spain and the United States which even led them to hault diplomatic relations in 1805.  It was believed that military action would be necessary to resolve the conflict.  Disagreements over the contested area were not fully resolved until 1819 when both parties agreed to the Sabine River as the western boundary. There were also cultural differences in that many residents of Louisana identified with its French past and they had a different system of local governance with the parish system.
