The thickness of the continental crust is normally 40 km (25 miles), whereas the thickness of the oceanic crust is only 6 km (4 miles). The difference in the average heights of the continental and oceanic crust is a result of the varying densities of the lithospheric rock.

Because of its greater buoyancy and lower density, the continental crust floats significantly higher in the mantle. The average depth of the marine crust is 3,790 meters, while its average height above sea level is 840 meters (2,750 feet) (12,400 feet). The two main layers of the Earth's surface are created by this density differential.

Subduction zones are where the majority of continental crust is created. Rock scraped off the top of oceanic plates when they subduct beneath continental boundaries contributes to lateral expansion (the submarine edge of the continental crust). These boundaries are identified by lines of volcanoes, frequently in the form of volcanic arcs that add to the crust. Additionally, volcanic arcs known as island arcs are produced by subduction zones found inside ocean basins (when one oceanic plate sinks beneath another).

julia-pushkina [17]

October 5, 1974

To the British governm

Esteemed,

I am writing this letter to take a stand against the positioning of the British crown in the American colonies and to express our dissatisfaction with the oppressive system that we are living in, due to the exaggerated colonialism of the British government.

First, I would like to complain about the absurd and immoral taxes that are being charged to us. America cannot pay for the excesses that the English establish, our work must be done to establish our own nation and not to finance its activities.

I would also like to express our rejection of a totalitarian government and submission to a king who does not know our struggles, our families and our lives. We must not submit to any man, except ourselves, and for this reason we reject monarchy in our territory.

Finally, I would like to criticize the exploration of our land for the enrichment and strengthening of yours. America must strengthen itself and that will only be possible when we get rid of British domination and become independent.

Thankful.

M.J. Jackson.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Lapses in part.

Explanation:

I don't know all the variables of the laws of inheritance, but I understand that the correct answer is that it fails in part.

The reason is that if Delsey left her will to her daughter Delsey while she was alive, she would be the rightful heir, but in the event that she had already died, the rightful heir would be Delsey's son and Char's grandson, Egor.

So Char's desire to leave the ranch to her daughter is not fulfilled for obvious reasons, but it is fulfilled in part because her son (and char's grandson) is the rightful heir.
