Approximately what percentage of Earth’s radius is represented by the crust?
The Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park had a surface area of 1,020,009 square meters in 1966. Its area was 615,454 square meters in 2005. The 2005 surface area is what percentage of the 1966 surface area?
Tectonic plates are large segments of the Earth's crust which move slowly. Suppose that one such plate has an average speed of 4.0 cm in every 365 days. What distance does it move in 1 hour at this speed? Round off your answer to the hundred thousandth place.
The thin outer layer of Earth, called the crust, contains only 0.50 percent of Earth’s total mass andyet is the source of almost all the elements (the atmosphere provides elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and a few other gases). Silicon (Si) is thesecond most abundant element in Earth’s crust(27.2 percent by mass). Calculate the mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth’s crust. (The massof Earth is 5.9 x 1021 tons. (1 ton = 2000 lb;1 lb = 453.6 g.)
What is a series of mountain of hills ranged in a line connected by high ground?
Is the earth flat?
On Dec 4, 2021 a volcano, Mt. Semeru erupted in Indonesia near Java in the Pacific Ocean in an area known as the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a string of volcanoes and sites of seismic activity, or earthquakes, around the edges of the Pacific Ocean. Deep Ocean trenches and high mountain ranges are also part of the Ring of Fire. Match the tectonic plate boundary condition with the earth's geologic feature in the lithosphere. * (Convergent Boundary)(Divergent Boundary)(Transform Boundary) : Match these with the below: San Andreas Fault Marianas trench High Mountain Ranges Subduction Java (Sunda) trench Formation of Island Chains Mid-Atlantic Ridge…
