Geography
1 answer:
VikaD [51]3 years ago

Answer:

It is made of liquid metal.

Explanation:

Earth is divided into few layers, and those layers are further divided into subdivisions. The layer in the central part of the planet is the core, and the core is divided into the inner core and outer core. The outer core is wrapped around the inner core.

The outer core is very thick, 2,200 km thick in fact. Unlike the inner core which is solid, the outer core is made up of liquid metal, mostly liquid iron and nickel. The metal is in liquid form because of the very high temperature and pressure. Because it is composed of metal, the outer core conducts electricity with ease. This layer also is in constant movement, or rather the material in it is constant movement, and this is due to the intense convection.

How long does Earth take to travel around the sun?
AysviL [449]
Hey kiddo.

It takes about 365 days, for Earth to orbit the Sun. At 67,000 miles an hour it does so. An elementary way of knowing this concept is knowing how many days are in a year. There are 365 days in a year, thus it takes 365 days for earth to travel around the sun. It may be 366 if you are including the leap year that comes to past in intervals of 4 years. The next leap year is in 2020.

Agricultural consumption refers to
viva [34]
Agricultural consumption refers to the consumption, or eating, of a place's agriculture, or farmed resources, such as wheat, hay, crops, etc. However, it may also refer to the "using up" of a place's resources. For example, take the phrase, "The economy consumed the country's resources." The economy didn't actually eat the resources, but used them up. Either works depending on the situation, but most likely, the question is looking for the first answer :)
