- HW-1 Q.4 Calculate the temperature, hydrostatic pressure, lithostatic pressure, and the effective pressure for the following conditions; Surface temperature%=D 60 °F Temperature gradient=1.45 °F/100 ft Depth of the layer =8,000 ft Specific gravity of the rock=D2.6Planetary scientists are excited about the possibility that some of the moons in the outer solar system might have a global subsurface ocean of liquid water. It's uncertain whether or not Jupiter's moon Callisto has a subsurface ocean, but some scientists think it might. Let's imagine that a short distance below the surface, Callisto has a water layer 20,000 meters thick. Callisto has a radius of 2.410x106 meters. Earth has a radius of 6.378x106 meters, and its oceans are equivalent to a layer of water 3000 meters thick all over the surface of the planet. Which of the following is an accurate comparison of the Earth’s amount of liquid water with this estimate of the amount of water Callisto might have? Group of answer choices If this scenario is correct, Earth and Callisto have roughly the same amount of liquid water. If these scientists are right, Callisto has about one-sixth as much liquid water as the Earth does. If these scientists are right, Callisto has about 11 times as…The solar insolation at the top of the atmosphere is about 342 W/m^2. The total radiation absorbed at the surface of the Earth is 494 W/m^2. Explain how it is possible to absorb more radiation at the surface than comes in at the top of the atmosphere. (Answer should be one paragraph long)

- The figure shows, not to scale, a cross section through the interior of Earth. Rather than being uniform throughout, Earth is divided into three zones: an outer crust, a mantle, and an inner core. The dimensions of these zones and the masses contained within them are shown on the figure. Earth has a total mass of 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6370 km. Ignore rotation and assume that Earth is spherical. (a) Calculate ag at the surface. (b) Suppose that a bore hole (the Mohole) is driven to the crust-mantle interface at a depth of 25.0 km; what would be the value of ag at the bottom of the hole? (c) Suppose that Earth were a uniform sphere with the same total mass and size. What would be the value of ag at a depth of 25.0 km? (Precise measurements of ag are sensitive probes of the interior structure of Earth, although results can be clouded by local variations in mass distribution.) 6345 km (a) Number (b) Number 25 km Number i 3490 km -Core, 1.93 x 1024 kg Mantle, 4.01 × 1024 kg Crust,…The radiant flux at Earth is 1365 W/m2.
