Explain why the moons core is cooler than Earth's?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The Moon is significantly smaller than the Earth and so its core contained less energy to begin with and also cooled significantly faster. Thus, the Moon's core is relatively cool and solid, whereas a portion of the Earth's core is liquid.

Describe the differences between the mountain belts and the stable interior with respect to their age (young/old), elevation (hi
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Difference is given as under

Explanation:

  • Mountain belts or mountain ranges are a line of hills connected by high ground. Usually an orogeny most of them are a result of plate tectonic effects and maybe young may be old depending upon their characteristic composition. Like the Himalayas is a young fold mountain formed in the tertiary system of rocks.
  • Usually, the mountain is separated from highlands, valleys, and passes. Usually, they tend to regulate the climate affecting snow and rainfall patterns. As compared to the stable interiors upon concerning their age are mostly young as they are continuously on the move and their formation is impacted by erosion and continuous wear and tear of geomaterials.
  • Concerning the height, the continents are lower as compared to the high elevated landmasses. Though the continents have large landmass and landscape is composed of various elements as mountain belts are smaller as composed to chains connecting the continents at the edges and borders.
  • Only continental mountain belts like the arctic and antarctic circle have a large scale of mountain chains and ranges on earth that are since millions and billions of years ago the formation of super landmasses.

How is science involved in the exploration for oil and natural gas? How is technology involved in this exploration? The Big Sque
Leto [7]

Answer:

A. Geology

B. Computer aided designs

C. Dead organisms in the oceans

D. Helps in converting dead organisms into oil and gas

Explanation:

The oil and natural gas are buried under layers and this requires a good knowledge of "geology". Furthermore, equipments must be built to explore this oil and natural gas

Involvement of Technology has to do with "Computer aided models" being generated. Seismic surveys and satellites used to collect data.

Oil and gas began as dead plants and animals living in the ocean millions of years ago.

Role of sedimentation: the Organisms in the ocean died and went to the bottom of the ocean, where a layer of sediment would cover them. Over the years, alternating layers of dead organisms and sediments were formed. As the layers bottled up, the immense pressure and heat converted the dead organisms into oil and natural gas.

Occasionally earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries. Where do these earthqu
Valentin [98]

Answer:

 on land but close to oceans

Explanation:

A boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate will be near a coastline., not "far from the coast" or "in the middle of oceans."

Often, mountains are also near that boundary, but mountains may also exist elsewhere, so "anywhere there are mountains" is not an apt description.

The best choice is "on land but close to oceans."

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake near Japan was offshore by 67 km. It came from the subduction zone where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It is an example of a plate boundary quake that occurred offshore, rather than on land.
