The ______ rides upon the ______ and is composed of both the ______ and the uppermost _____.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The crust rides upon the mantle and is composed of both the oceanic basaltic-plate and the uppermost continental granitic-plate.

Explanation:

The mantle is one of the four layers that form the earth. It is a very hot and dense rock, that is capable of flow. The crust is the outermost layer of the earth and is located just over the mantle. The crust is divided into many plates, that are able to move over the mantle. In fact, the tectonic plates theory is based on the continual movements of the crust and might explain the movement of the different plates, and their directions and interactions. The continental drift theory explains how these movements have been taken place since millions of years ago.

The crust is composed of two layers characterized by different types of rocks. The continental layer, which is the uppermost, is mostly composed of granite. The oceanic layer, on the other hand, is mostly composed of basalt.

Question 14 Where (in relation to the Sun) are the four least dense planets? a) Farthest from the Sun b) Nearest to the Sun c) Distance from the Sun is not related to density d) Distance and density are in exact agreement

Answers

Answer:

d) Distance and density are in exact agreement

Explanation:

  • Distance From the sun is related to the density of the planets as most of the terrestrial planet have rocky cores and are made up of solid metals so, the density remains stable as the case of the earth having a density of 5.5g/cm cube.
  • Planets near to the sun like the mercury have a density of 5.4g/cm cube and planets away from the sun like Saturn have a density of 1.2g/cm cube and Jupiter has 1.3g/cm cube. Thus it can be estimated that the nearness to the sun impacts the amount of the gases and gravity the planets can absorb.
  • Four least dense planets are Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and Jupiter the farther we go density decreases as these planets tend to made entirely on gas and condensed icy crystals. As the solars winds blow away the gases from terrestrial planets
