What is the size and the shape of the earth?
What are the process that shapes earth's surface
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 the source of Earth’s magnetic field?arrow_forwardWith the information from Exercise 8.25, you can calculate the average age of the ocean floor. First, find the total area of the ocean floor (equal to about 60% of the surface area of Earth). Then compare this with the area created (or destroyed) each year. The average lifetime is the ratio of these numbers: the total area of ocean crust compared to the amount created (or destroyed) each year.arrow_forwardDescribe three forms of erosion that cause slow evolution of Earths surface.arrow_forward
