In which layer of Earth’s interior does convection occur?

<u>Answer: </u>

Earth convection occurs at the mantle layer

<u>Explanation: </u>

The movement of less dense material  above the more dense material  is called as convection.  The mantle is the layer that lies between the core and the crust of the earth. The mantle is composed of rocks containing silicon, magnesium, oxygen,  aluminium, iron and other minerals.

The heat energy of the core is transmitted  to the rock in the lower mantle.  This makes the rock with less temperature that lies  in  upper mantle to move down slowly.  Now the rocks that are pushed up  is eventually cooled and again pushed down by the hotter rock  from the lower mantle. This is called as convection in earth’s mantle .

Two protons are going up when they enter a magnetic field that points toward you. What happens to the motion of the particles
asambeis [7]

Force on a proton when they are moving inside the magnetic field is given by

F = q(v x B)

so here while protons are going upwards we can say its direction of velocity is towards +Y and magnetic field is towards us which is along +Z direction so they will have force due to this motion.

As per above equation of force we can have direction of force which is along +X direction.

So here both proton will bend towards +X direction and start moving in curved path.

Which evidence would confirm that a given rock later is newer than the layers around it. 1. It has been crumpled in folded, whil
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Option 2. It cuts through all the other layers

Explanation:

Newer or younger rocks are usually formed from older rocks in the sense that older rocks are broken up, and their by product materials forming together to make younger rocks.

We can simply say that older rocks basically undergo recycling to form newer rocks.

Thus, looking at the given options,

For option 1, the newer rock cannot be crumpled while the others lie flat because it is the old one that is undergoing recycling and therefore the older one is the one that will be crumpled to give way for newer rocks. So it's not true.

For option 2, since they are from older rocks, they will clearly cut through the other layers of the old one because the old one will give way for the new one.

Option 3 is not true for the same reason given for option 1.

Option 4 is not true because there is no standard way in which it will be positioned
