Answer:

1.)lithosphere : The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth, including the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust

2.)asthenosphere : Asthenosphere, the zone of Earth’s mantle lying beneath the lithosphere and believed to be much hotter and more fluid than the lithosphere. The asthenosphere extends from about 100 km (60 miles) to about 700 km (450 miles) below Earth’s surface.

3.)mantle : The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) thick and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume.

4.)outer core : The outer core, about 2,200 kilometers (1,367 miles) thick, is mostly composed of liquid iron and nickel. The NiFe alloy of the outer core is very hot, between 4,500° and 5,500° Celsius (8,132° and 9,932° Fahrenheit).

5.)inner core: The inner core is a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron. It has a radius of about 1,220 kilometers (758 miles). Temperature in the inner core is about 5,200° Celsius (9,392° Fahrenheit). The pressure is nearly 3.6 million atmosphere (atm).

2c. How much daylight would there be on Dec 21 in the northern polar regions?
kupik [55]

Answer: None, it would be 24 hours of darkness

Explanation:

This is because December 21st marks the astronomical start of winter for the northern hemisphere with the winter solstice. During this season the days are shorter than the nights, and as we get closer to the North Pole, we will have up to 24 hours of darkness.

That is why on December 21st, the sun is not visible for 24 hours and the next days (the closer it is to the north pole) it will stay that way. Therefore, the inhabitants of this area will have longer periods of darkness.

¿Qué desafíos enfrenta el sistema educativo en la enseñanza de la Geografía?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Uno de los ejemplos de los problemas encontrados en el campo de la educación en geografía es el uso generalizado de los maestros de los métodos de enseñanza que se basan en explicar conceptos. Una de sus principales razones subyacentes es la sobrepoblación de las aulas y la capacitación conductual que los maestros recibieron anteriormente.
