Assignment Summary For this assignment, you will make a scale model—a “core sample”—showing the layers of the Earth: crust, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Background Information The Earth is composed of six layers with differing thicknesses and properties. The crust forms both land and seafloor. It is thickest under mountains and thinnest under ocean beds. The crust’s thickness ranges from 5 to 70 km thick. The lithosphere consists of the crust plus the upper mantle. It is solid and is about 100 km thick. The asthenosphere is a semisolid layer under the lithosphere. It is about 180 km thick. The lower mantle is 2,250 km thick and is solid, but very hot, rock. The outer core is molten rock and it is 2,266 km thick. Finally, the inner core is 1,210 km thick, and it is solid iron and nickel. Remember that as you go deeper into Earth’s layers, temperature and pressure increase. A core sample is made by drilling into the Earth and pulling out a long cylinder of rock. Geologists analyze these core samples to learn more about Earth’s history and composition. So far, geologists have not yet succeeded in drilling into Earth’s mantle. You will construct a scale model of a core sample. When something is “to scale,” it has a uniform reduction or enlargement. You will calculate how deep each layer should be in centimeters, based on the actual depth of Earth’s layers in kilometers. The percentage of the total for each layer remains the same, but the actual number of units changes.Step 5: Create a typewritten paper describing your model of Earth’s layers. a) Type several paragraphs describing your “core sample” of Earth’s layers in detail. i. Explain what a core sample is. Then, tell whether it is currently possible to take a core sample like the model you’ve created. ii. Compare and contrast the layers in your model, including the significance of the colors. iii. Discuss what it means to create a scale model. iv. Include a table with the values you determined for each layer. v. Discuss the relationships of each layer to the others, including depth. b) Answer the following question in a separate paragraph. i. How does your “core sample” model of Earth’s layers differ from the actual layers of the Earth? c) Make sure your paragraphs include correct sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, and spelling. d) Ask your teacher where you should save your work. Your teacher may also have specific guidelines about the file name you should use.
Answer:
yo I hope this gets you a good grade. I have the same thing due on Nov. 9. did it the same day it was due. good luck. you will need to make the thing yourself.
Explanation:
A core sample is a cylindrical section of a natural substance. Most core samples are made by drilling with special drills into the substance, such as sediments or rock, with a hollow steel tube, called a core drill. The hole made for the core sample is called the "core hole". It is currently not possible to take a core sample like this one.
The difference in these layers is that the farther down you go the hotter and more dense it gets. You need to make the layers different colors so you know which layer is which and, how deep the layer goes.
What it means to make a scale model is to make a model of something and make it a certain amount smaller than the original.(the entire model should be the same amount smaller than the original.)
Starting at the center, Earth has four different layers. They are, from deepest to shallowest, the inner core, the outer core, the mantle and the crust. Except for the crust, no one has ever explored these layers in person. The inner core is a solid metal ball and is extremely dense, it’s made mostly of iron and nickel.the outer core is also made from iron and nickel, just in liquid form. The mantle is Earth’s thickest layer and is made mostly of iron, magnesium and silicon, it is dense, hot and semi-solid (like caramel candy).Earth’s crust is like the shell of a hard-boiled egg. It is extremely thin and cold. The crust is made of relatively light elements, especially silica, aluminum and oxygen.
How does this “core sample” model of Earth’s layers differ from the actual layers of the Earth? Well, this model is much smaller and is Impossible to do in real life. Example, the metal used for making the hollow rods to take these core samples would melt when they get to the mantle much less the inner core.

A series of experiments are conducted with five different cups, each filled with the same amount of water. One cup is kept at room temperature (25 °C), while the other four cups are heated to four different temperatures. Sugar is added to each cup until no more will dissolve. The amount of sugar added to each cup is recorded. Which answer correctly identifies the control group, independent variable, dependent variable, and controlled variable in the experiment?
Control Group: temperature of the water Independent Variable: cup of water at room temperature Dependent Variable: amount of sugar dissolved Controlled Variable: amount of water in each cup
Control Group: temperature of the water Independent Variable: cup of water at room temperature Dependent Variable: amount of water in each cup Controlled Variable: amount of sugar dissolved
Control Group: cup of water at room temperature Independent Variable: temperature of the water Dependent Variable: amount of sugar dissolved Controlled Variable: amount of water in each cup
Control Group: temperature of the water Independent Variable: amount of sugar dissolved Dependent Variable: amount of water in each cup Controlled Variable: cup of water at room temperature
Answer:
Either the first one or the third one.
Explanation:
Using process of elimination: knowing that the controlled variable is something the conductor is able to control and stays the same throughout; the amount of water is the same, but it also states that temperature is not the same throughout. This cancels out B because the amount of sugar dissolved varies and doesn’t stay the same. D fits the same criteria as well.
so now we are left with A and C.
An independent variable is something that can be by itself and doesn’t depend on anything else. Sugar is NOT independent, as it dissolves DEPENDING on the amount of liquid. So we can already rule out that sugar is a dependent variable. Both A and C have those choices though, so now we are with the control group and the independent variable.
Think about it, which is the independent variable? Water amount doesn’t depend on anything, while the temperature depends on the room. So the answer is most likely A.
Hope this helps, don’t stress about homework. Happy Holidays!

If 0.213 moles of argon occupies a volume of 652 mL at a particular temp and pressure, what volume would it occupy if 0.162 moles of argon were added at the same conditions?
Answer:
V₂ = 495.89 mL
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial number of moles = 0.213 mol
Initial volume = 652 mL
Final number of moles = 0.162 mol
Final volume = ?
Solution:
V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
By putting values,
652 mL/0.213 mol = V₂ /0.162 mol
V₂ = 652 mL 0.162 mol /0.213 mol
V₂ = 105.62 mL.mol /0.213 mol
V₂ = 495.89 mL
A student mixes a solution of lead (II) nitrate with a solution of potassium iodide and notices the formation of a yellow solid. What is the precipitate? How do you know?
Answer:
Lead (II) iodide
Explanation:
The reaction of lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO₃)₂ with KI is:
Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KI(aq) → KNO₃(aq) + PbI₂(s)
This is a typical double-replacement reaction where anions and cations exchange its couple.
All nitrates are solubles, thus, KNO₃ is not the precipitate.
The only possibility of precipitate is PbI₂,

What would happen to the air pressure on Earth's surface if the density of Earth's atmosphere were to suddenly double?A. The air pressure would decrease by half. B. The air pressure would increase 2X. C. The air pressure would stay the same. D. The air pressure would increase 4X.
Answer:
B. The air pressure would increase 2X
Explanation:
Pressure = density × acceleration due to gravity × height
p = ρ × g × h
Pressure is force per unit area
p = F/a
Density is mass per unit volume
Pressure is directly proportional to density hence, any change in the density of a body directly affects the change in pressure of the body and vice versa.
. A sample of NH₃ gas occupies 57.0 liters at STP. How many molecules of NH₃ is this?
Answer:
15.30 ×10²³ molecules of ammonia
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of ammonia = 57.0 L
Temperature = standard = 273 K
Pressure = standard = 1 atm
Number of molecules of ammonia = ?
Solution:
The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,
PV = nRT
P= Pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K
T = temperature in kelvin
1 atm ×57.0 L = n ×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273 K
57.0 L.atm = n × 22.41 atm.L/ mol
n = 57.0 L.atm/22.41 atm.L/ mol
n = 2.54 mol
Number of molecules of ammonia:
1 mole of gas have 6.022 ×10²³ molecules of ammonia.
2.54 mol ×6.022 ×10²³ molecules / 1 mol
15.30 ×10²³ molecules

Microorganisms in the soil decompose waste as a source of energy for growth and release carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have observed that as soil temperatures increase (up to 25°C), the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere from the soil increases. Which explanation about how environmental factors affect the growth of microorganisms is BEST supported by this observation? Group of answer choices An increase in soil temperature decreases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition decreases. An increase in soil temperature increases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition increases. An increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from the soil increases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition decreases. An increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from the soil decreases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition increases.
Answer:
An increase in soil temperature increases microorganism growth because the rate of decomposition increases.
Explanation:
An increase in soil temperature increases microbial activities and the activity of extracellular enzymes that degrade polymeric organic matter within the soil. An increase in the soil microbial activities means that the decomposition rate and microorganism growth would increase. Increase in the activity of extracellular enzymes that degrade polymeric organic matter within the soil also means that more carbon dioxide would be produced and released into the atmosphere.
Which of the following can occur after a rock is weathered?
It forms metamorphic rock.
It melts and forms igneous rock.
The sediment can form magma.
It gets compacted and forms sedimentary rock.
Answer:
It gets compacted and forms sedimentary rock.
Explanation:
After a rock is weathered, one thing that can happen is for it to get compacted and form sedimentary rock.
When a rock is weathered, sediments are produced from their erosion. These materials are collected and deposited by agents of denudation. In sedimentary basin, they get compacted, cemented and lithified. The lithified sediment will then form sedimentary rocks.What is the electrical charge on the nucleus of a carbon-12 atom
