the heat of accretion
-
radiation

square of all of the above
-
square root of all of the above

Antworten
-
Protostars are larger

Frage 15
Frage
the order of sea floor spreading is:
Antworten
-
magma rises, is cooled, moves to the side (pushed by new magma coming up), is subducted underneath less dense continental crust
-
magma rises, moves to the side, cools which locks in the curie temperature, and then sinks as the density increases

Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 19
Frage
Sea floor spreading is started by subduction
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 20
Frage
types of convergent boundaries are:
Antworten
-

Frage 37
Frage
The terrestrial planets are made of metal and rock, as opposed to the jovian planets made of gases and ice. This is because:
Antworten
-
planets closer to the sun are formed by elements that condense at higher temperatures. This is why terrestrial planets are formed by metals and rocks
-
because the gases condense at lower temperatures they did not form the terrestrial planets and were pushed outwards
-
planets closer to the sun were able to get more of the elements from the nebula and therefore were made of the heavier elements, leaving the lighter elements for the jovian planets
