Geography

Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere, which is 100 km (60 miles) thick. The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, which is malleable or partially malleable, allowing the lithosphere to move around. How it moves around is an evolving idea.

Answer:

okay

Explanation:

Play tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large scale motion of 7 large plates in the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of Earth's lithosphere since tectonic processes began on earth between 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago

Solve the equation for the letter r: d = rt
Alla [95]

Okay, so we're starting with d = rt. "Distance equals rate times time." If you divide both sides by t, you would get r = d/t. So, your answer is A. Another explanation: let's say you've traveled 120 miles in 2 hours. How fast were you going? To solve that, you would divide your distance (120) by your time (2) to get 60 mph. So, rate = distance/time.Hope this helps.

Why is the mesosphere colder than the thermosphere, even though it's closer to earth?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Mesosphere lies in between 50 to 80 km above the earth surface and due to low density gases escape easily and hence it is colder.

Explanation:

Mesosphere has the capacity to not absorb the infrared radiation that's why the gases reflected from the earth surface escape the layer of mesopause and goes inside the thermosphere.

In the thermosphere, even the minute atoms of gases ca be absorbed by the layer which increases the air temperature and the air rises up hence making thermosphere as the hottest layer in the atmosphere.
