III. READINGA. READ THE PASSAGE và CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS lớn THE QUESTIONS. (10 PTS)When Jules Verne wrote Journey khổng lồ the Center of the Earth in 1864, there were many conflicting theories about the nature of the Earth’s interior. Some geologists thought that it contained a highly compressed ball of incandescent gas, while others suspected that it consisted of separate shells, each made of a different material. Today, well over a century later, there is still little direct evidence of what lies beneath our feet. Most of our knowledge of the Earth’s interior comes not from mines or boreholes, but from the study of seismic waves – powerful pulses of energy released by earthquakes.
The way that seismic waves travel shows that the Earth’s interior is far from uniform. The continents & the seabed are formed by the crust – a thin sphere of relatively light, solid rock. Beneath the crust lies the mantle, a very different layer that extends approximately halfway to lớn the Earth’s center.Therethe rock is the subject of a battle between increasing heat & growing pressure.
In its high levels, the mantle is relatively cool; at greater depths, high temperatures make the rock behave more lượt thích a liquid than a solid. Deeper still, the pressure is even more intense, preventing the rock from melting in spite of a higher temperature.
Beyond a depth of around 2,900 kilometers, a great change takes place & the mantle gives way to lớn the core. Some seismic waves cannot pass through the core và others are bent byit. From this & other evidence, geologists conclude that the outer chip core is probably liquid, with a solid center. It is almost certainly made of iron, mixed with smaller amounts of other elements such as nickel.

C.The machine is composed of different elements rather than memory units
