Answer:

Much of our understanding of the basic structure and composition of Earth and the other planets in our solar system is not strenuously debated. We can infer a surprising amount of information from the size, mass and moment of inertia of the planets, all of which can be determined from routine astronomical observations. Measurements of surface chemical composition, either by direct sampling (as has been done on Earth, the moon, and Mars) or through spectroscopic observations, can be used to estimate elemental abundances and the degree of chemical differentiation that occurred as the planets condensed from the solar nebula. Remote observations of the gravitational field can be used to understand how a planet's mass is distributed, whereas the strength and shape of the magnetic field provides some constraint on the structure of a metallic core. The specifics of structure and composition, however, are much more debatable. And it is these details that tell us a much more extensive and ultimately more interesting story about the internal dynamics of the planets and their evolution. As a result, trying to determine them is frontier research in almost all fields of earth and planetary science.

Even on Earth, many of these details have to be inferred from remote observations. Because we cannot sample the deep Earth, we must deduce its composition either by looking at the clues hidden in igneous and metamorphic rocks, or by examining proxies for composition and structure such as the three-dimensional variation of the velocity of seismic waves produced by earthquakes and sampled by networks of seismometers on the surface. The late Francis Birch, the eminent Harvard geophysicist, and his colleagues and students worked out the basic methodology that brings these distinct observations together. Birch showed how the stiffness of rocks changes under the extreme conditions of pressure and temperature deep within planets, as well as with chemical composition. Because the speed of seismic waves depends on the stiffness of the medium through which they propagate, it is possible to calculate temperature and composition from maps of seismic velocity. Most current research is based on Birch's work and it has even been extended to the most extreme temperature and pressure conditions of Earth's core. For example, much of our understanding of the large- and small-scale convection patterns driving plate tectonics has come about by using Birch-type proxies for temperature and composition.

what are 3 CHEMICAL REACTIONS that you personally observed over the last 2 weeks. You should only include chemical reactions tha
Allisa [31]

1).  I started up my car.  Gasoline was spritzed into the cylinders, mixed with air, and then exploded with an electrical spark.  As the gasoline vapor instantly burned in the air, several new things were formed that weren't there before, like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water, and oxides of nitrogen.

2).  I left my dinner on the stove a little too long, and it got a layer of crunchy crackly sooty carbon on the bottom. That part of it didn't taste too good.  This isn't exactly something that happens every day, but more often than I'd like it too.

3).  All day, every day, and all night, every night, about 10 or 20 times every minute, I pull air into my lungs.  I keep it there for a while, then I blow it out and pull in some fresh stuff.  The air I blow out has less oxygen and more carbon dioxide in it than it had when I pulled it in.  That's because of the hundreds of chemical reactions going on inside my body, to keep me alive and functioning.  I hope these keep going on for many many more days in the future.

What is gamma radiation composed of?
Paha777 [63]
Gamma radiation is composed of the stable form of nuclei and most important Helium Atom is released in this reaction !

gamma radiation is due to fission in which the radioactive substance is bombarded and as a result a stable form of that element is formed and a Helium atom !
