Express the answer in scientific notation. what is the pressure, in n/m2, at a depth of 50 km in the continental crust?
the pressure is × 10 ? n m2 .

1.422 N/m²

Explanation:

pressure (P) =  ρ g h

where ρ= density of continental crust

          g= acceleration due to gravity

          h is the depth given

density of continental crust is equal to 2.9 g/cm³

    =

g=9.81 m/s²

height = 50,000 m

now,

pressure (P) = ρ g h

pressure (P) =

                    =1.422 N/m²
