In the earths mantle the convection currents pass through the mantle which then causes friction in the tectonic plates causing earthquakes,volcanoes or tsunamis

Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. The Earth's surface lithosphere rides atop the asthenosphere and the two form the components of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is divided into a number of tectonic plates that are continuously being created or consumed at plate boundaries.

What helped scientists understand that Earth's interior is liquid?
Sergio039 [100]

The Earth’s interior is composed of several layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. Scientists used waves and their speed to study the Earth's interior. The speed of seismic waves is affected by the properties of the material the waves pass through. The stiffness of material affects the speed of these waves. P-waves, or pressure waves, go through both liquids and solids, while S-waves, or shear waves go through solids but not liquids. The following helped scientists understand that Earth's interior is liquid: S waves cannot travel through liquids. Correct answer: D

Subtropical waters are typically more saline than equatorial waters because of
Advocard [28]
Subtropical waters are typically more saline than equatorial waters because of the bigger temperature and much lower precipitation.
The precipitation manages to lower the salinity on the surface of the water even create ''pools'' with fresh water in the middle of the saline water. In the equatorial region there's rain almost every day, so the salinity is lower, while in the subtropical regions there's seasonal rain and it is in much lower amount, the temperature is higher which makes the water evaporate more and the salt to be more concentrated, thus the higher salinity.
