Chemistry rock and soil Flashcards
What is bigbang theory?
Bigbang theory is an extremely huge and hot explosion that made the earth
It cooled down and form the first element,what is the element?
H(hydrogen)& He(helium)
How does clouds form? Explain!
The atoms were drawn together by the force of gravity and then form huge gas called clouds
What is the 1st generation stars?
H&He stars
How does other elements form?
It happen when a stars has used up all its supply of hydrogen to make helium it makes other elements by nuclear fusion.
That elements include
Carbon,Nitrogen,Oxygen,Sodium,Magnesium,Aluminium,Silicon,Phosphorus,Sulfur,Chlorine,potassium,calcium,chromium,and iron
What does nuclear fussion process?
The process that inside each sphere and the force of gravity drew the atoms closer still until the temperature and pressure became so great.
How does nebula form?
The stars may then swell up and form a red giant star,then release gas and dust as a nebula around it,and shrink to form a white dwarf star
Supernova is formed from
Very large stars that do not release gas and dust
core divided into two parts
Inner core and outer core
The inner core is a ball of
iron and nickel
inner core ….. km in diameter
2740 km in diameter
The inner core are also radioactive present,like uranium,and they generate heat,which keep the core at about …… degree celcius
5000 degree
The outer core is ….. km thick
2000 km thick
That composed of more iron and nickel
outer core
The mantle is made of
rocky material
the mantle is …… km thick
2900 km thick
The mantle composed mainly of
element iron,silicon,oxygen,magnesium
compounds is
the atoms of these elements that are joined together to make substance
main composed in mantle
silicates (made from silicon and oxygen atoms)
The mantle is very hot,it is ….. degree celcius at a depth of ….. km below the Earth’s surface
1500 degree celcius at a depth of 2000 km below the earth’s surface
The mantle is very hot,it is ….. degree celcius at a depth of ….. km below the Earth’s surface
1500 degree celcius at a depth of 2000 km below the earth’s surface
