Answer:
The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below.
Geologic time, the extensive interval of time occupied by the geologic history of Earth. ... Modern geologic time scales additionally often include the Hadean Eon, which is an informal interval that extends from about 4.6 billion years ago (corresponding to Earth's initial formation) to 4.0 billion years ago.
A continental shelf is a portion of a continent that is submerged under an area of relatively shallow water known as a shelf sea. Much of these shelves has been exposed during glacial periods and interglacial periods. The shelf surrounding an island is known as an insular shelf.

1.the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
2.Geologic time, the extensive interval of time occupied by the geologic history of Earth. ... Geologic time is, in effect, that segment of Earth history that is represented by and recorded in the planet's rock strata.
3.the area of seabed around a large landmass where the sea is relatively shallow compared with the open ocean. The continental shelf is geologically part of the continental crust.

Explain the relationship between mass and gravity
Answer:
Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
Explanation:
i did some research and this is what I got. hope it helps.
Mass is the amount of matter present in an object. All objects in the universe attract every other object in the universe. This force is called the gravitational force or gravity. This force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
More is the mass, more is the gravitational force or gravity

a
The potential energy does not change because the magnets in the system do not change.
b
The potential energy increases because Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force.
c
The potential energy decreases because Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force.
d
The potential energy decreases because Magnet 1 moves in the same direction a
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The potential energy decreases because Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force. If it was increased it would be kinetic
When Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force, the potential energy will increase.
Potential energy:
It is the enregy of present in the object or system due to the position of the different parts of the system.
Here, when one magnet bring closer to another magnet the magnetic force will increase.
Therefore, when Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force, the potential energy will increase.

Write down one fact about each of the following crust, mantle, outer, core, & inner core
Answer:
Hope this help you!!
Explanation:
Crust : The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth. It has an average thickness of about 18 miles below land, and around 6 miles below the oceans. The crust is the layer that makes up the Earth's surface and it lies on top of a harder layer, called the mantle.
Mantle : The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 1,802 miles thick, and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume
Outer Core : The outer core is the third layer of the Earth. It is the only liquid layer, and is mainly made up of the metals iron and nickel, as well as small amounts of other substances. The outer core is responsible for Earth's magnetic field. As Earth spins on its axis, the iron inside the liquid outer core moves around.
Inner Core : It's Almost The Size of the Moon. The Earth's inner core is surprisingly large, measuring 1,516 miles across. It's Mostly Made of Iron. It Spins Faster Than the Surface of the Earth. It Creates a Magnetic Field.

Cherise sets identical magnetic carts on two tracks. At the end of each track is a blue magnet that cannot move. Cherise can move the carts one space to the left or one space to the right. Which movement will result in the largest increase in potential energy?
a
Moving the cart on Track 1 one space to the right (→).
b
Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the left (←).
c
Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the right (→).
d
All these movements will result in the same change in potential energy because they each move a cart the same distance.
Answer:
it's d
Explanation:
The movement that will result in the largest increase in potential energy is D. these movements will result in the same change in potential energy because they each move a cart the same distance.
Potential energy refers to the energy that's possessed by a body when it's at rest. Kinetic energy is the energy that's based on the motion of an object.
In this case, we can see that the carts are moved one space either to the right or left. Therefore, the movements will result in the same change in potential energy.

what do i wright: You are a drop of water going through the water cycle. Where do you go? How do you get there? What processes do you go through? Include at least three phases of the water cycle , i know the phases of the water cycle
Explanation:
As the Sun heats the ocean, the water evaporates, turning into a gas. Sometimes this gas meets cooler air, and the gas changes into drops of water. This process is called condensation. Drops of water fall back down to Earth again as precipitation, which can be in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail
three phases of water cycle are
