Which statement is true about the layers of the Earth? * 1 as temperature and pressure increases, density increases 2 As tempera
ture and pressure increases, density decreases 3 Temperature and pressure are unrelated to density 4 Pressure and temperature are the only factors controlling density
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.
Answer: false, for example, if a frog eats flies, and the flies are land animals, if they go extinct the frogs could die off, meaning any fish or water dwellers that eat the frogs can starve and cause a large chain reaction.
