B. lower mantle
C. radioactive material
D. asteroid bombardment

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The earth has four layers; thecrust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The Earth’s magneticfield is the combination from the convection it receives from the outer coreand the Coriolis Effect. The answer is letter A. The outer core iscomposed mostly of liquid nickel and iron. It is expected to have that state ofmetal because it has a higher temperature. The inner core cannot hold much ofthe magnetic field because of its high temperature and high pressure thatexceeds the outer core. The temperature decreases however as the layer goesoutwards.

Ocean currents affect the temperatures of some regions. Some ocean currents carry warm water into the north. The British Isles in western Europe, for example, has a warmer climate than other areas at the same latitude, such as Labrador, Canada. A current called the Gulf Stream brings warm water to the British Isles. The Gulf Stream helps keep the climate warmer than it would be otherwise. After reaching far north, the current cools and flows south. Other currents carry cold water away from polar regions and make the climate of areas they travel to colder than they would be. Currents can warm or cool the air over them. The wind can carry that air into neighboring land areas.

Why is faulting most likely to occur near Earth's surface and not deep within Earth?

Answers

Answer:

    Geological fault is the rupture or splitting of a block of rocks or narrow bands of the surface that is responsible for the displacement of its parts. The accumulation of energy and its eventual release in geological fault zones is one of the factors responsible for the occurrence of earthquakes.

    This geological phenomenon arises as a result of the pressure applied by a force, usually the tectonic plates, where the pressure exerted exceeds the resilience and plasticity of the rock layers, causing them to split or rupture, and may also generate some small fractures in their surroundings. .
