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

1 answer:

7 0

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!!! ^_^

how do th location and climate of the United kingdom and russia affect how each country conducts trade

AnnZ [28]

United Kingdom is surrounded with bodies of water; thus, it is easier for them to trade with people from different countries all over the world. Ships carrying various goods from different parts of the world would dock in UK ports and trade their goods for the goods found in UK. People living in UK has livelihoods that are depended on land (farming) and water (fishing).

Since UK is surrounded by bodies of water, it enjoys a milder climate compared with Russia.

Russia, on the otherhand, occupies some parts of Europe and Asia. But, Russians can not maximize the use of their land area since there are parts of Russia wherein there are permanently frozen land. Russia is also bordered by 15 countries with no access to waterways, making trading difficult but possible.

Most Russians live in the European part of the country because it has a better weather condition and trade among neighbouring countries can easily be done.
