Earth Layers Foldable
... The Earth is composed of four different layers. The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The outer core and inner core are even hotter with pressures so great you would be squeezed into a ball sm ...

Magnetic Reversals
... After molten lava emerges from a volcano, it solidifies to a rock. In most cases it is a black rock known as basalt, which is faintly magnetic. Its magnetism is aligned with magnetic north and is frozen in place at the time when the basalt cools. Instruments can measure the magnetization of basalt. ...

... (a) The ligands are four water molecules— tetraaqua—and two chloride ions—dichloro. By assigning all the oxidation numbers we know for this molecule, we see that the oxidation number of Cr is +3: Thus, we have chromium(III). Finally, the anion is chloride.
