What does plate tectonics refer to? correct answers It is a theory explaining the movement of the Earth's crust -Earth's crust is not solid but rather a bunch of pieces (or 'plates') that move on the surface of the Earth. Similar to cracked egg shell. We need all three boundary types for plates to move around Earth's surface: -Convection currents -- drives the movement -Mid-ocean ridge -- spreading center Subduction zones -- oceanic trench site of crust destruction What is the maj...

origin of earth - Answer-• Supernova: death of a star (great explosion) • Supernova happened 4.6 bya, dust and gas flattens to a disk and spins faster due to gravity and solar nebula formed. • Solar Nebula: describes formation of Earth 4.5 bya • Nebula: gas cloud origin of oceans - Answer-• volcanic explosion, H2O condensed and rained down for thousands of years to create oceans • icy comets hitting earth (responsible for 1/2 of earths ocean water) origin of life - Answer-•...

The Earth - origin of Earth, oceans, life; the Earth's internal layers... - origin of Earth, oceans, life; the Earth's internal layers... Origin of Earth, Oceans, Life: • Earth: Supernova (explosion of a star-4.6 bya)- earth (nebula made of gas and dust) was formed 4.5 billion years ago. • Oceans: Volcanic expulsion, rained for thousands of years then hit by icy comets; volcanic outgassing and ice from comets • Life: 3.7 billion years ago life was created- animals have been arou...

List the 3 main layers of the earth from the center to the outside based on composition (what they are made out of). - Answer-1). Core (Inner and outer)-solid inner liquide outer. Iron/nickel alloy. Extreme pressure 2).Mantle-82% of the earth's volume-Solid, rocky, shell 3). Crust (Oceanic-younger rocks and Continental-granite rocks) List the 5 mechanical layers of the earth (based on how they deform?) Whic layers is a liquid? - Answer-1.The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer a...

big bang - -still energy left from explosion -discovered in 1960s -assumes earth came from material -Kant created most pop model of formation (planet accretion) nebula - beginning form of planets many bump into others and combine earths composition - -more dense material in center -heterogeneous (bc heat and dense elements melt and flow) -accretion -compression -radioactive decay 3 layers of earth - -based on composition -core, mantle, crust -metallic core sank to center lithospher...

The Earth's mantle is a solid (its temperature is less than its melting temperature). How does it transfer heat from the core toward the surface? - ️️Convection What do you call the location where an ocean plate dives back into the interior of the Earth? - ️️A subduction zone What do you call the location where new oceanic plates are create? - ️️A mid-ocean ridge What do you call the strong outer layer of a planet, containing both crust and cold uppermost mantle, that comprises ...
