ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS BE LOW. 1.What are the four
layers that make up the Earth? Each layer consists of what materials
CRUST- The term "crust" is used to describe the outermost layer of a
planet that is made of rock. Oceanic crust is younger and less dense than
continental crust, but both are part of Earth's crust. Crust material consists
of rocks and minerals. The mantle is underneath the crust and is mainly
composed of hard rocks and minerals with occasional pliable regions of semi
solid magma. In addition, igneous and metamorphic rocks account for over
95% of Earth's crust, whereas shale (4%), sandstone (0.75%), and limestone
(0.25%) make up the remaining 5%.
MANTLE- The mantle makes up the vast majority of the interior of the
Earth and is mainly solid. The mantle is the intermediate layer between the
thick, superheated core of the Earth and the thin crust at its surface. There
are two distinct rheological layers in Earth's mantle: the stiff lithosphere,
which makes up the upper mantle, and the more ductile asthenosphere, which
is separated from the lithosphere by the lithosphere-asthenosphere barrier.
The vast majority of Earth's mantle consists of silicates, a class of chemicals
with a shared silicon and oxygen structure. Olivine, garnet, and pyroxene are
all examples of silicates that can be found in the mantle. Magnesium oxide is
the second most common rock in the mantle.

OUTER CORE- The earth has a third layer, the outer core. It consists
entirely of the liquid layer and primarily of iron and nickel with trace
amounts of other elements. The outer layer generates the magnetic field.

INNER CORE- The fourth layer within the Earth is the inner core. A
solid ball of metal, mostly iron. Extreme heat is shared here at 4,500 to
4,700 degrees Fahrenheit (2,100 to 2,100 degrees Celsius). Even though it's
heated, the inner core isn't liquid like the outer core. Because of the weight
of the crust, the mantle, and the outer core, Earth's inner core is relatively
solid.
2.What would happen if the rotation of Earth were slower? What would happen
if the rotation of Earth were faster? How might these conditions affect your
body?
FASTER-The Days and nights would be shorter if the planet rotated
faster. Centrifugal force would lessen our load as the Earth's rotation
increased speed. Since gravity is constant at any given distance from the
center of the Earth, the resultant gravitational pull would be weaker, but
the centrifugal force would increase. Temperature differences are expected
because each hemisphere takes a different amount of time to heat up.
SLOWER-The length of its days and nights would be proportionally
increased if its rotation were slowed. We'd get heavier as the Earth slows
down its rotation. Given that gravity does not change but centrifugal force
does, the combined force of Earth's gravity and centrifugal force would be
greater. Temperatures would differ because each hemisphere would have
more time to warm up.
CONDITION OF MY BODY-My body and mind are not familiar with being
in that state. Neither is comfortable there. As a result, the condition of my
body will not allow it to function correctly.

3.In what direction do lines of longitude run, and where do they meet? The
distance east or west of the prime meridian is called longitude. Longitude is
measured by lines that go up and down around the Earth and meet at the
North and South Poles. Meridians are the name for these lines.

4. How does geographer define the word place?

Geographers use the term "place" to describe the combination of a
location's physical and human features. Location-specific factors may be
considered, such as weather, topography, and waterways/valleys. The
cultures of the people who live there and how they shape the environment
via activities like city planning and park landscaping are examples of human
features.
5.What types of movements are of special interest to geographers?
Geographers rely heavily on maps and Global positioning system.
Geographical researchers analyze the global distribution of landforms,
physical features, and human populations. They investigate how the natural
environment and human activities in a given area affect one another.
