1. Why is Earths Crust the least dense layer?

Biology
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1. Because it is thick and has relatively low density, continental crust rises higher on the mantle than oceanic crust, which sinks into the mantle to form basins. When filled with water, these basins form the planet's oceans.The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer, which behaves as a brittle, rigid solid.

3. Earth's inner core is solid because it is under such intense pressure from the weight of the entire planet that its atoms are held together by force. ... ... By contrast, the outer layers of Earth, while being slightly cooler (but still incredibly hot), have less pressure and thus their atomic form reverts to liquid.

4. Scientists have learned about Earth's internal structure by studying how these waves travel through the Earth. The technique is straightforward — it involves measuring the time it takes for both types of waves to reach seismic stations from the epicenter of an earthquake.

What are some possible future changes in the global climate?
Ugo [173]

The most probable future changes in the global climate are:

- Global warming;

If the levels of CO2 and methane increase enough in the atmosphere to be able to intensify the Greenhouse effect, than some portion of the ice on the planet will melt because of the rising temperatures, thus lifting up the sea level, creating more unpredictable weather with larger and stronger storms, but also making the mainland much drier. This would be a scenario if the continents are arranged like they are now, but if there isn't a sufficient mass of land on and around the poles, than all of the ice will melt and the sea levels will rise so much that the planet will come in the ''water planet'' scenario, and it will have wet tropical climate pretty much everywhere on the planet.

- Ice Age;

If there's a disruption in the warm ocean streams and some of them disappear, or the levels of nitrogen or oxygen increase in the atmosphere, the Earth will start to cool off, thus coming to a situation of an Ice Age. In this kind of situation, there will be large ice sheets on and around the poles that are stretching much further towards the lower latitudes, as well as mountains all over the world that are covered in snow and shaped by glaciers.

What biodiversity restoration method can biologists follow to increase the density of trees and the canopy thickness in an area
alekssr [168]
Reforestation is a biodiversity method that can increase the biodiversity by replanting with trees. Reforestation will help forest recuperate from logging, rest fires and human abuse. Replanting trees will increase the density and variety of the trees and by doing so, wildlife will also increase. Although reforestation is a common approach to relive forest, forest management is still needed to maintain the endemic or native species.
