Which of the following maps shows the three dimensions of earhts surface?
A topographic map shows the three dimensions of the earths surface.
Is the earhts crust a liquid?
No, the crust is solid, the core is liquid.
How does friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect winds near the earhts surface?
Friction between the ground and air molecules slows down the movement of air near the Earth's surface, creating areas of high pressure. This can cause surface winds to flow from areas of high pressure to low pressure, resulting in the formation of wind patterns.
Would there be more or less variation between the seasons if the earhts tilt increased from 23.5 to 35 degrees?
More! In the summer season the hemisphere would be closer to the sun than it is now, making the rays more prominent. The opposite is applicable for the winter season.
What is the mantle of the earth?
Earth's mantle is a zone of hot molten rock beneath its solid crust. It is fluid, but quite viscous, so it flows slowly. It is almost twice as dense as granite. That is why we find so much granite in rocks and mountains here on the surface. Lighter rock floats on top of heavier rock. This is good news for land-dwellers like us. The minerals and compounds found on Earth's surface can be found in rock from the upper mantle; however, we only know well the mantle rock that has reached the surface. Mantle rock reaches the surface in several places through fissures in the crust and volcanoes. The molten mantle of Earth contains a higher abundance of heavy elements, like iron and nickel, than does its surface. Mineral compounds obey the same rule as the elements: Lots of aluminum and silicon near the surface, and olivine and pyroxine minerals and heavy elements farther down. Current theory suggests that the Earth's hot flowing mantle will provide us our magnetic shield against the Sun's harsher radiation for more than a billion years to come.
How have earthquakes changed the land?
Earthquakes can change the land by causing landforms like mountains, valleys, and fault lines. They can also trigger landslides and change the course of rivers. The shaking from earthquakes can also result in the ground sinking or rising in certain areas.
What is geomagnetism?
Geography is thew study of the earths landscape, peoples, places and environments. It is, quite simply, about the world in wich we live in.Geography covers; *The human(man made) and physical (natural) elements of our environment *Maps and how to read them *Our heritage(our past) and our future *Communities *Values and attitudes *Culture *citizenship :)
What do seismic waves tell us about the earth's interior?
Seismic waves tell us about the Earth's interior by their behavior and speed. They reveal information such as the density, composition, and state of materials within the Earth. By analyzing the travel time and behavior of seismic waves, scientists can infer details about the structure and properties of Earth's interior layers.
When will rhinos be extinct?
If current conservation efforts are not intensified, some rhino species may face extinction within the next few decades. However, ongoing initiatives such as anti-poaching measures, habitat protection, and captive breeding programs aim to prevent this outcome. Support for these efforts is vital to ensure the survival of rhinos for future generations.
