Write a 5 paragraph essay applying physic concepts to the geological processes of the Earth. Introduce the different Earth processes that you will discuss. The next three paragraphs need to be dedicated to the processes and the physic concept(s) that you apply to the Earth’s processes. The last paragraph should conclude what you discovered about the relationship between the Earth’s processes and physics.

How vulcanos, montains and earthquakes form

First, you have to understand what Convection is:  

Did you know that the hotter something, the more it expands? This happen because heat, at an atomic level, is nothing but vibration. If a liquid is hot, it means that there is more vibration between it's atoms. And, more vibration causes to have more space between the atoms, which causes the density to decrease.  

So, when a liquid has it's top cold, and it's bottom hot, the top will be more attracted by the gravity than the bottom, because it's more dense. This will cause the top to want a lot to get down, and the bottom, because of the pressure of the top, will want to go up. This will cause a spiral movement; the bigger the difference, the faster and the more violent this spiral movement will be (and that's what causes hurricanes)  

The Earth, when it was formed, was really, REALLY hot. It has being losing it's heat ever since, but, since there is not air in the space, it can only lose it's eat though radiation, which is very slow. And also, the bigger something is, the slower it cools down, because there is more vibration, more movement, more energy to be lost. The earth was formed 4,5 BILLIONS of years ago. That's A LOT of time. But the lost of heat by radiation is so slow, and the earth has so much heat to be lost, that it still didn't cool down that much.

You can think of Earth like a hot potato that got out of the oven just a while ago; the outer part is already cold, but just take a bite, and you will see how HOT it's insides are. You can't take a bit out of earth, of course, but it's insides are a lot hotter that the outside, because it's the outside that loses eat. The insides have to wait for the outsides to cool down, and then lose eat to the outsides.  

So... we got a planet that's really hot in the inside, so hot that it's mantle is made out of liquid rocks!  

Now, it's time to connect the dots: the upper part of the mantle loses heat faster than the inner one. This causes a spiral movement, and, since the tectonic plaques are floating in this liquid, they end up moving as well!  

When two plaques move one against each other, they crash against themselves, and this causes an earthquake. If they move away from each other, this creates an open space; and since the mantle has, like, THE WHOLE CRUST OF THE PLANET CRUSHING IT, the mantle is craving to get out, so when there is an opening, it squirts out like crazy, creating an eruption. After a while, the magma solidifies, creating a volcano.  

The process of losing heat though radiation, the Pascal's Principle of the pressure that the crust makes on the mantle, the way the outer layers lose heat faster than the inner ones, how rocks get liquid under high temperatures, convection, the gravity that holds our planet together... all of those physical processes have a high impact on earth's geology.

mercury

explanation:

mercury is the least dense because of its size

the answer is c. according to past decisions, free speech is not unlimited.
