Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

  1. Lithosphere
  2. Asthenosphere
  3. Crust
  4. Outer core
  5. Upper mantle
  6. Lower mantle
  7. Inner core

Explanation:

  1. The lithosphere is a rigid rock layer that is found beneath the crust and above asthenosphere. There are different types of lithosphere present in different tectonic areas. These are the lithospheres associated with ocean and continental crusts. The lithosphere is also the layer of the Earth that sinks into the mantle at crustal subduction zones.
  2. The asthenosphere lies directly below the lithosphere and is an upper region of the mantle. This layer is not completely solid, but rather somewhat fluid and ductile. The boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere is, therefore, somewhat diffuse. Despite being described as a non-solid layer, the rate of 'flow' in the asthenosphere is extremely slow as it is still very rigid compared to more molten layers below.
  3. The crust is the uppermost part of the non-atmospheric zones of the Earth and interacts directly with the atmosphere. The crust is the coolest and most rigid of the layers that make up the Earth. Of the two kinds of crusts, oceanic is the more common and thinner variety, while continental crust is thicker and covers less surface area than oceanic crust.
  4. The outer core is found below the mantle and above the inner core. This layer is liquid and is responsible for the formation of the magnetic dynamo that provides Earth with a magnetic field. Current theories suggest that eddies or whirlpools in this zone generate the electric current. It is through this zone that s-waves cannot travel as they are incapable of moving through liquids.
  5. The upper mantle is the part of the subsurface of the Earth that is directly below the crust and above the inner mantle. The outer mantle is further divided to also include the asthenosphere and the bottom part of the lithosphere that is not completely solid. The mantle begins anywhere from 11 to 71 kilometres below the surface of the Earth.
  6. The lower mantle is found below the upper mantle and is a very voluminous layer of the Earth. Mantle plumes are thought to exist as areas of superheated rock that rise towards the cooler layers above. The lower mantle is the possible source region for these plumes which in many cases make their way to the surface in the form of volcanic hot spots.
  7. The inner core is the center of the Earth and thus the region of the planet that experiences the most extreme pressure and temperature. Studying the composition of the inner core is rather complicated because of it's extreme inaccessibility, but by analyzing seismic waves and magnetic field behavior, it has been hypothesized that the inner core is made at least partly (if not mostly) of iron.

Folds like anticlines and synclines are produced by ____.
Vika [28.1K]

1. tectonic compression

The anticlines and synclines are both physical features that occur in the crust because of tectonic compression. The movement of the tectonic plates causes enormous pressure on the crust. This pressure gradually manages to twist and bend the crust, so much so that if the crust is cut through it will look like waves, or having a snake-shape. The anticlines are the folds at which each half dips away from the fold, while the synclines are the folds when each half dips toward the trough of the fold.

2. that the crust was shearing in a right-lateral motion

The Wasatch fault is normal type of fault. It is divided into five segments which together have a length of around 240 km. This fault has started to form around 10,000 years ago, and it has produced lot of strong earthquakes. This fault occurred while the crust was shearing in a right-lateral motion, which actually managed to move the Wasatch Mountain toward east. The fault is still active at some parts, and considering that its surrounding is heavily populated and the area is covered with soft lake sediments, there can be a big disaster in the future.

3. Material moves down a slope parallel to the layers of the underlying bedrock

The transitional slides are types of mass movement. They occur on places where the layers are parallel to one another, and the top layer is moving, eventually falling down a slope. Even though the top material is parallel to the layers of the underlying bedrock, a saturation of the top material, or a side pressure can move it, gradually making it move on top of the underlying bedrock until it comes to the slope and crumbles down.

4. delta

When a larger river enters the sea its waters slow down, and eventually stop in the larger body of water where they mix and become part of it. As the river is getting closer to the sea, it gradually slows down, and as it slows down it loses its velocity. By losing its velocity the river is not capable to carry the large amounts of sediment with it, so it starts depositing them. Gradually the deposits of sediments build up and they interfere with the movement of the water of the river, so the river starts to branch out and the water starts to move into the spaces where there are less deposits. This creates a triangular shaped natural feature known as delta.
