lithosphere- rocks and crust, 300 to 500 °C
mantle-silicate rocks rich in magnesium and iron,500 to 900 °C
outer core- iron and nickel, along with small amounts of other dense elements like gold, platinum, and uranium. 4400 to 6100 °C
inner core-iron, 5982°C
Answer:
Geography brings a person understanding of why civilizations develop into the societies they are today due to adaptations to the climate, resources, and interactions with other people nearby. Geography shows why regions in the world suffer from the problems more than others and how all civilizations interact with each other in different ways.

impacts them greatly. We wouldn’t even have tropical cyclones if it weren’t for the Coriolis Effect.
Tropical cyclones begin as masses of disorganized showers and storms in/near the Tropics. As wind speeds pick up in these shower/storm masses, a circulation begins to form. The circulation only forms because of the Coriolis Effect, which causes cyclones to spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere (and clockwise in the Southern).
As the system matures, winds around its central eye strengthen. Rain becomes more intense. If the storm makes landfall, you might hear a TV meteorologist warn viewers about the “northeastern quadrant” or the “eastern side” of the storm.
This is because the Coriolis force adds momentum and energy to that side of the storm. On the east side of a low pressure system (in the Northern Hemisphere), your wind (which is caused by the pressure gradient force, or differences in air pressure) will be helped along by the Coriolis force. On the west side, the Coriolis force acts against the wind.
Thus, the Coriolis effect ensures that the worst part of most tropical cyclones is the east side, and particularly the northeastern quadrant. This is where the worst winds and heaviest rain will be located.
Answer:
Explanation:
5. The earth’s surface from the edge of the continent to the deep of the ocean
Continental shelf
The continental shelf is a part of the seafloor. This is closest portion of the seafloor to the land.
6. The rock portion of the earth’s surface
lithosphere
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and upper part of the mantle. Most of the rocks on earth are found in the lithosphere. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere
7. The part of the earth where plants and animals live
biosphere
The region of earth where all life forms can be found is the biosphere.
8. A fracture in the earth’s crust
Faults
A fault is a fracture within the earth's crust. It is formed as a result of brittle deformation of the earth.
9. Underground water-bearing layers of porous rock, sand or gravel
Aquifer
An aquifer is a porous and permeable formation within the earth that bears ground water.
10. To remove the salt from ocean water or groundwater
Desalination
In areas where the only source of water is ocean water, desalination is important because the saltiness of the water can be removed by this process.
