Describe the formation of the land, the atmosphere, and the oceans of earth

Physics
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]2 years ago

Land: Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills. Erosion by water and wind can wear down land and create landforms like valleys and canyons. ... Landforms can exist under water in the form of mountain ranges and basins under the sea.

Atmosphere: (4.6 billion years ago)
As Earth cooled, an atmosphere formed mainly from gases spewed from volcanoes. It included hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as today's atmosphere. After about half a billion years, Earth's surface cooled and solidified enough for water to collect on it.

Ocean: After the Earth's surface had cooled to a temperature below the boiling point of water, rain began to fall—and continued to fall for centuries. As the water drained into the great hollows in the Earth's surface, the primeval ocean came into existence. The forces of gravity prevented the water from leaving the planet.

Could Mars be a suitable alternative to Earth as a second home for humans? Explain your answer.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

After the Earth, Mars is the most habitable planet in our solar system due to several reasons: Its soil contains water to extract. It isn't too cold or too hot. ... Gravity on Mars is 38% that of our Earth's, which is believed by many to be sufficient for the human body to adapt to.

What are the characteristics of Earth’s lithosphere and how does the lithosphere play a role in plate tectonics?
pashok25 [27]
The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous

Newton’s law of gravitation says that gravity is a mutually attractive force. Explain the following observation: A small object
Airida [17]

Answer: See below

Explanation:

The Earth attracts the falling object with the same intensity of gravity as the object attracts the Earth, according to Newton's law of gravitation. The displacement of the two bodies, however, is inversely proportional to their respective masses.

Example: The Earth attracts a ball that falls 3 metres from the ground, even though the ball's mass is insignificant in comparison to the Earth's. Similarly, the ball draws the Earth with the same power, but the Earth's mass is enormously more than the ball's. As a result, the Earth collides with a billionth of a millimetre ball (or even less). Restart the Earth's descent on the ball you'll never see again.
