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.

Regional erosion occurs at a rate of 2 m per 1,000 years.
valina [46]

Answer:

2000m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Rate of regional erosion = 2 m per 1000years

Unknown:

Amount of regional erosion in 1, 000, 000 years.

Solution:

        If it takes 1000 years for regional erosion to remove 2m of earth

then, in 1, 000, 000 years, the amount of regional erosion will be: \frac{ 2 x 1000000}{1000}

    ⇒ 2000m

In a million years to come, 2000m of earth would have been eroded as a result of regional erosion.
