Plate tectonics Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

This is the Exam students receive during their second week of Principles of Environmental Science (ENV/100T). It covers everything from the Earth's spheres, the nitrogen cycle, the water cycle, rock weathering, plate tectonics, carbon dioxide, etc. There are 2o questions in the exam and all questions are answered correctly.

Outline the structure of the core. - Answer The core is made up of dense rocks containing iron and nickel alloys. It is divided into the solid inner core and the molten outer core, which has a temperature of over 5000C. This heat is produced due to two processes: primordial heat left over from the Earth's formation and radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes. Outline the structure of the mantle. - Answer The mantle is made up of molten and semi-molten rocks contai...
