We know that heat from Earth's interior is responsible for the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the crust. Where doe

s
the majority of this heat energy originate?
A)
Radioactive decay of elements in the mantle and crust generate about 80%
of the heat energy flowing to the surface.
B)
The dynamo generated within Earth's core creates heat energy as a product
of friction hat energy flows to the surface.
o
Because both the outer core and lower mantle are liquids, as the move
they generate the heat needed to drive plate tectonics.
D)
The source of most of the heat energy flowing to Earth's surface is heat
that was generated when Earth was formed; as Earth cools over time, that
energy is transferred through the layers.

How do we know there is Dark Matter in other galaxies? a. it occasionally lum inesces b. flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies
lesantik [10]

Answer:

b. flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies

Explanation:

Dark matter accounts for majority of the matter in the universe (about 85%). It is considered to be composed of subatomic particles which are yet to be discovered. Dark matter cannot be observed because it does not emit light that can be detected. Only its gravitational effect is visible.

Astronomers when calculated the mass of the visible matter and tried to account for the observed speed of stars in the galaxy, there was a mismatch. To understand what caused this mismatch, astronomers gave name to the invisible matter as the Dark Matter.  

The expected velocity of stars should decrease away from the near the center of the galaxy but a constant velocity of stars was observed that is a relatively flat rotation curve was obtained.  

Thus, flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies in an evidence of Dark Matter.
