The layers that make up the upper mantle are the following.

  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
  • The lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle.
  • The rocky outer part of the Earth is called the lithosphere.
  • It is very rigid, solid, and it is not as hot as the other parts.
  • According to scientists, its thickness is about 90 to 100 kilometers from the surface of the earth.
  • The layer of the Earth that moves the lithospheric plates is called the asthenosphere.
  • Lithospheric plates are 60 miles long on average and are composed of continental crust.

We conclude that the lithosphere and the asthenosphere are the layers that make up the upper mantle. The new lithosphere is being created at oceanic ridges due to plate tectonics. Yes, planet Earth is getting larger constantly.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

B. Geosphere

A. Biosphere

A. Atmosphere

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions occurs within the Geosphere. The geosphere is the rock solid earth make up of rocks that extends into the deep interior.

Magma formed deep within the crust rises to elevated parts and finally erupts as lava on the surface. When they cool, they solidify to form volcanic rocks.

The volcanic eruptions affects the biosphere significantly. The biosphere is the portion of the earth where all life forms exists.

Gases and ash spewed during an eruption into the atmosphere causes severe changes to weather and leads to pollution. The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth.

The Event Horizon Telescope needs a 22 micro-arcsecond resolution to view the event horizon regions around black holes. If the a
likoan [24]

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

\theta=22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians

From Rayleigh Criterion

\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.
