Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

all of these

dense

makes up most of Earth's volume

hot


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


3

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

57% Answer Correctly

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


4

__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.

64% Answer Correctly

scurvy

anemia

shingles

diabetes


Solution
