Answer:

::Due to the iron inside the earth.

Explanation:

Imagine a sphere of Iron, as big as two-third the size of the moon and as hot as 5700 Kelvin. That is the Earth’s core.

The iron core isn't in its liquid form even at that temperature because it is crushed under immense gravity. This core is surrounded by 2000 km of other metals like iron and nickel which are in their molten state.

The temperature is not the same at every point in this molten layer. The hotter and less dense matter rises up, and the warm denser matter sinks. This causes convectional currents in the interior of the Earth.

Because of the Earth’s spin, there is a force that established called the Coriolis force which causes swirling whirlpools here too.

This flow of molten metals produces electric currents which generate self-sustaining magnetic fields. And as a result of the Coriolis force, all these combined effects add up to produce one big magnetic field engulfing the Earth aligned in one direction.

Once the water evaporates, you will start to see the minerals that were present in the water before it changed state. If the water was from the ocean, you will see salt crystals in the evaporated water. If the water was fresh, you may see other minerals typically found in fresh water.

1A: The legs can be a adjusted, as well as the sand can be swapped out. It’s a very good design for running multiple tests.
1B: He could add books or something under the front or back legs in order to increase/decrease the incline, therefore imitating the hypothesis.
1C: He can change out the sand grains to finer ones, or coarser ones, and record his results of each test.
2: If he sets the model at a steep incline and tests it with coarse sand and fine sand, seeing which one makes a narrower, deeper hole.

A cylinder with a movable piston originally has a volume of 2805 mL and is filled with nitrogen to a pressure of 4.00

Sergio039 [100]

This problem is providing the initial volume and pressure of nitrogen in a piston-cylinder system and asks for the final pressure it will have when the volume increases. At the end, the answer turns out to be 2.90 atm.

<h3>Boyle's law</h3>

In chemistry, gas laws are used so as to understand the volume-pressure-temperature-moles behavior in ideal gases and relate different pairs of variables.

In this case, we focus on the Boyle's law as an inversely proportional relationship between both pressure and volume at constant both temperature and moles:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$
