- With 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_forwardReview. The North American and European plates of the Earths crust are drifting apart with a relative speed of about 25 mm/yr. Take the speed as constant and find when the rift between them started to open, to reach a current width of 2.9 103 mi.arrow_forward2-) Calculate the resulting CO2 concentration in the atmosphere 30 years from now assuming that we will use only coal to generate electricity. Assume efficiencies of 40 % for power plants. The current CO2 level in the atmosphere is 370 ppm by volume. Assume that all of the atmosphere's mass is within 11 km of the planetary surface. Is this a reasonable value? If it is not, state some reasons. State all your assumptions. NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU ARE GOING TO SOLVE PARTIALLY!!!arrow_forward
- One proposed method of mitigating climate change is the planting of large numbers of trees. How would this reduce the problem of global warming? Trees reflect additional sunlight back into space before it strikes the ground, reducing the global temperature. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. Trees prevent soil erosion, and soil erosion contributes to the greenhouse effect. Trees release water vapor into the atmosphere, increasing the cloud cover and reducing the global temperature.arrow_forwardA student has basalt at 23 degrees Celsius and wants to know what the new temperature would be if they added 5.00Kj of heat to 115.0g of basalt?arrow_forwardExplain how continental crust and oceanic crust are like icebergs in water.arrow_forward
