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

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.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Kants believe that there actions that are good consequently to a lot of people.They may benefit a lot of people particularly in the society -- It does not make sense if the actions are not morally upright. Lucky, perhaps. But we can not say an action is lucky because they are gooo morally or they are unlucky because they are morally wrong

And utilitarians believe the proper way to evaluate an action is in the consequences. If more people derive more benefits than the other options, then it is morally good and that's all there is to be said.

For Kant, that is not all there is to be said.

evaluation of  the moral worth of action by Utilitarian moral theories  on the basis of happiness that is produced by an action.

Kant has an objection to moral evaluations of this sort. The reason behind is objection is that utilitarian theories  devalue the individuals it is supposed to benefit.

Kent alos objects because the utilitarian theories is bent on man inclination for happiness and pleasure not by universal moral laws.

Always remeber that the fraction bar is just a divison sign. with that being said, you are going to divide the numerator=1 by the denominator=6. this will then give the decimal form 1.6666666. Because it continues repeating it will be Answer B

crimeas [40]

Answer:

my life would be different as i would have to adjust my day to day life in order to workor go to school while its dark outside which can make it difficult to see. As well, it would be strange for my eyes to adjust to the sudden light change after being used to one or the other for so long.
