The earth's tectonic plates are directly propelled by the convection in the __________.
1 answer:
The missing word here is <u>Asthenosphere.</u><u> </u>
The convection in the asthenosphere directly propels the tectonic plates of the earth.
Did you know that the asthenosphere is thought to remain malleable because of heat from deep within the Earth? It is thought to be lubricating the earth's tectonic plates' undersides and enabling movement.
The older, denser portions of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones are stored in the asthenosphere, according to the theory of plate tectonics.
The lithosphere above is stressed by convection currents, and the cracking that frequently results manifests as earthquakes.
Magma is forced upward through volcanic vents and spreading centers by convection currents produced within the asthenosphere, which also results in the formation of new crust.

Answer:
L/D= 112
Explanation:
Aerodynamics can be defined as the branch of dynamics which deals with the motion of air, their properties and the interaction between the air and solid bodies.
Aerodynamics law explains how an airplane is able to fly. There are four forces of flight, and they are; lift, weight, thrust and drag. The amount of lift generated by a wing divided by the aerodynamic drag is known as the lift to drag ratio.
Lift increases proportionally to the square of the speed.
The solutions to the question is the file attached to this explanation.
Lift,L= qC(l). S---------------------------(1).
and,
Drag,D = qC(d).S ----------------------(2).
Hence, Lift to drag ratio,L/D= C(l)/C(d).
Therefore, we have to compute various angle of attack.(check attached file)...
Then, (L/D) will then be equal to 112.
