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

1 answer:

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!!! ^_^

Summerize three main things interest groups do to get laws passed in their favor ?

SVEN [57.7K]

There are definitely more than three but I can help you with the prime/main three techniques/things used.
1)Propaganda, no not the type your thinking of (not the communist Russian propaganda like stuff), I more mean false truths. The general public is very easy to manipulate and information is also very easy to modify. You can tell a person that a new healthcare system will make everyone with a net worth over $1 Million healthcare cheaper, although you can reword that to sound like, 'healthcare will become more effective and will help to improve the quality of life. This system is designed with the people in mind (the rich ones), I believe that if this system is passed then we will live longer and better lives.' See how different that sounds! It makes it seem like everyone is gonna get amazing care and their life's gonna be peachy. Most times false truths are targeted towards poorly educated people. Sadly that tends to be the general public (DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE!!). If you can rally the general public then you in essence have more control than you need.
2)Spread lies about other laws/systems. Ok so this one sounds a bit confusing, how are you supposed to spread a lie about a law. While one may not directly spread a lie about a law they can make up lies about the complexity of it, say things like 'this law targets only the upperclass and not you, when in reality it targets the upperclass but does more damage to them than help.
3)Straight up confuse people/distract them. Create a conflict, chaos is distracting. Surround a law with lies and slander and the people who are working to pass it, chances are the general public is going to go 'I don't trust them! Lets pass that other law which is probably miles worse'. Similar to spreading a law, slander about those working on it can destroy it's reputation.
