The continental crust, or the crust that lies beneath the continents, usually ranges from around 30 to 45 kilometers thick. These thicknesses are found on most continents and are dependent on height above sea level and mountainous regions. Although there are rare areas that exceed 70 kilometers thick, according to the United States Geological Survey, or USGS, less than 10 percent of the total area of the Earth's crust exceeds 50 kilometers thick.

Thicknesses below 30 kilometers are typically only found under the ocean and are called oceanic crust. The thinnest sections of the crust are only approximately five kilometers thick, which is a small fraction of the thickness of the thickest parts of the continental crust. The thickness of oceanic crust is difficult to estimate by looking only at proximity to continents or latitude since the crust varies greatly from coast to coast and everywhere in between. For example, along the eastern coast of the United States, the oceanic crust ranges from 10 to 30 kilometers thick, according to the USGS.

There are two kinds of mixtures

a) homogeneous : the boundary of the two components is not physically distinct

b) heterogeneous:the boundary of the two components is  physically distinct

the following separation techniques are common for mixtures

1) filtration: if the two components are forming heterogeneous mixture we can separate them by filtration.

2) boiling: if boiling point of one of the components is less than other

3) magnetic separation: if one of the component is magnetic

4)sieve method: for solid components with difference in size of particles

5) hand picking

Thus the correct match will be as shown in the figure

A car moves down the street at 45 kph. The driver takes his foot off the gas pedal but does not brake. Which is the correct expl
nexus9112 [7]
Answer: Friction.

Explanation: Even though the driver has taken the foot off thr gas pedal, the acceleration of the car decreases and the friction continues.

The car slows down because the opposite force of friction continues to act and the acceleration in forward direction is continuous decreasing. Hence, the car slows down.

Answer:

The vertical columns of the periodic table are called groups, or families. The significance is elements with similar properties are placed in the same vertical columns. The horizontal rows of the periodic table are called periods. The significance is that properties vary from left to right along the rows.

Explanation:

We just did this in science
