QUESTION: Suppose you were given a rock from near the surface of the seafloor in the Gulf of Mexico. Chances are that this rock will be of what type?
ANSWER: SEDIMENTARY
Answer:
Explanation:
There are two dominant theories:
The inside-out model proposes that the Earth formed with trace amounts of water structurally bonded to the minerals in the mantle. This water makes its way to the Earth’s surface through volcanic processes.
The outside-in model proposes that the Earth formed without water, which came with other volatiles from the meteorites or comets that bombarded the young planet. This water was probably mixed into the upper layers of the Earth and was later brought to the surface through volcanism.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. Environmental geography bridges physical and human geography. Environmental geography is an aspect of geography that delves into the relationship, including the social, economic and spatial interconnections, between people and their environments.<span> </span>
