HELP ASAP What happens when the mantle melts?

2 answers:

6 0

With convection, hot mantle material rises closer to the Earth's surface, raising the geothermal gradient in the area. This causes the temperature in the earth's mantle to rise, which causes the mantle to partially melt. The partial melt contains both liquid and crystals that need a higher temperature to melt.

Partial melting is an important process in geology with respect to the chemical differentiation of crustal rocks. On the Earth, partial melting of the mantle at mid-ocean ridges produces oceanic crust, and partial melting of the mantle and oceanic crust at subduction zones creates continental crust.

The energy per unit volume in an electromagnetic wave is: ________

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that are generated when an electric field and a magnetic field vibrate together. They are usually created whenever an electric field collides with a magnetic field.

In more generic terms for an electric field, the energy per unit volume is given by:

Energy density = $\dfrac{1}{2}\varepsilon _oE^2$

For magnetic field:

Energy density = $\dfrac{\beta^2}{2 \mu _o}$

∴

For the electromagnetic wave (u):

Total energy density is:

$u = \dfrac{1}{2}\varepsilon_oE^2 + \dfrac{\beta ^2}{2 \mu_o}$

Due to the fact that the energy related with both fields is equivalent:

Then:

E = cB
