Answer:

Crust sitting on top of molten rock of the mantle

Explanation:

Earth's crust is the geological name for what we usually call the <em>surface</em> of the planet, and it is immediately above the molten rock of the mantle, the next layer of the planet.

The crust happens to be fragmented in large pieces or tectonic plates, that can be seen as "drifting" on the mantle's molten rock, also known as magma.

In some areas tectonic plates are drifting away, allowing magma to reach the surface (volcanoes for example), or the seabed (forming mid-oceans crests).

In other areas tectonic plates are crashing each other, causing earthquakes, tidal waves, mountain formation and other relevant geological events.

One gram of Uranium averages release 1.01 KJ (10^7) of energy. How much mass could be converted to energy to release this much e
frutty [35]

Answer:

The amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10^{-7}  kg

Explanation:

From Albert Einstein's Energy equation, we can understand that mass can get converted to energy, using the formula

E= \Delta mc^{2}

where \Delta m = change in mass

c = speed of light = 3 \times 10 ^{8}m/s

Making m the subject of the formula, we can find the change in mass to be

\Delta m = \frac{E}{c^{2}}= \frac{1.01 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{7}}{(3 \times 10^{8})^{2}}= 1.122 \times 10 ^{-7}kg

There fore, the amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10 ^-7 kg

A wave of frequency 90 mega in 3 micro seconds. Calculate its wave length. hertz travels 6 km​
gladu [14]

the wavelength is 2.2m

wavelength can be calculated by formula wavelength = velocity / frequency so here first we need to find the velocity so velocity is distance travelled/time taken that 2 X 10^8 m/s now wavelength is =  2 X 10^8/ 90=2.2m.

Waves are signals that can go through various media, including wire in the case of an electrical AC current, water, light, and other media. The separation between two identical points on a sinusoidal wave is known as the wavelength. You can determine how long there is between each wave's peak and each wave's trough if you know the frequency of the wave moving through the medium.

In a scale model of the Solar System, if the Sun is represented by a ball with a diameter of about 8 inches, about how large wou
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

size of popcorn seed may meet the scaled earth size of x = 0.07312 in.  

Explanation:

Given:-

- The diameter of actual sun, Ds = 1.3927 * 10^6 km

- The diameter of model sun ball, ds = 8 in

- The diameter of the actual earth, De = 12,742 km

Find:-

How large would be the earth model

Solution:-

- We can use the actual diameters of the earth and sun to develop the ratio of earth diameter to that of sun. The direct ratio can be used to model the diameter of earth for the scale model

                                          Sun                   Earth

                     Actual :     1392700 km     12,742 km

                      Scale :           8 in                    x

- Use direct relations and solve for x:

                               x = (8 in)*(12,742 km ) / ( 1392700 km )

                              x = 0.07312 in.

- From the given options apple, grapefruit and marble diameters are larger than 1 inch. So only the size of popcorn seed may meet the scaled earth size of x = 0.07312 in.
