Answer:

1. As temperature and pressure increases, density increases

Explanation:

The earth is composed of three main layers: Crust, Mantle and Core. The density or mass per unit volume of the earth's layers increases as one moves from the surface towards the interior of the earth known as the core. Also, there is an increase in pressure and temperature as depth increases. There are three main sources of heat in the earth's core: (1) conserved heat from when the planet formed and coalesced, (2) heat due to friction caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet, and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements.

The earth's core is composed almost entirely of the metals, iron and nickel. The core has an inner solid layer and a molten outer core. Iron and nickel are both very dense metals, so the core of the earth is very dense and the density increases with depth with the inner core being the most dense layer of the earth.

Which describes the scientific view's order of earth's first living things to the most recent?
hammer [34]
<span>The scientific view's order of Earth's first living things to the most recent is described by choice C. cyanobacteria, hagfish, crocodilians, giant ground sloths. Cyanobacteria have lived on the Earth since the Precambrian supereon. Actually, they first appeared in the Archean eon (4-2.5 billion years ago). Hagfish, as other jawless fish, appeared in the Paleozoic era (541-252 million years ago). Crocodilians appeared in the Cretaceous period (145-66 million years ago). Giant ground sloths, also known as megatherium, appeared in the Pliocene epoch (5.33-2.58 million years ago).</span>
