- The slowly increasing distance between South America and Africa is due to: a. <u>Seafloor Spreading</u>.
- Old Faithful Geyser at Yellowstone National Park in the United States of America acquires its energy from a: b. Hot Spot.
- Layered <u>sedimentary rock</u> exposed by erosion can be seen when looking at the Grand Canyon in the United States of America.
- Australia is made up of relatively old and thick: d. Continental Crust.
- The extremely deep ocean Marianas Trench is a result of: g. Subduction.
- <u>Seafloor Crust</u>: found in the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe comprises dense and relatively young rock.
- The earthquakes that occur in Southern California generally occur above a: f. Fault.
<h3>What is seafloor spreading?</h3>
<u>Seafloor spreading</u> can be defined as a process that involves the formation of new oceanic crust as a result of volcanic activities and an upwelling of molten magma at mid-ocean ridges, as well as a slowly increasing distance (outward movement) from the ridge.
The theory of <u>seafloor spreading</u> was established by Harry Hammond Hess and it can be used to explain in details the slowly increasing distance between South America and Africa which grows from the center.
<h3>What is a
hot spot?</h3>
A <u>hot spot</u> refers to an area deep within Earth's mantle or under the rocky outermost layer of Earth, from which heat rises through convection and acquired as heat energy by a landform.
In the United States of America, you will see a layered <u>sedimentary rock</u> that is exposed by erosion when you view the Grand Canyon.
Furthermore, Australia is made up of relatively old and thick <u>continental crust</u>. Also, <u>subduction</u> causes the formation of extremely deep ocean Marianas Trench.

This is how I'd set it up:
405/20 = 243/x
this means the mpg (miles / gallons) for 1 situation is the same as the mpg for the other situation (because the rate is the same)
then just cross multiply and solve:
405x=243*20 or 405x=4860 or x = 12
he would need 12 gallons of gas for 243 miles

you do 15.0 x 4.0 and that would give you the answer of 60.

1) Answer: The part of the quadratic formula tells us whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring is b^2-4ac
2) 4x^2+6x+2=0
ax^2+bx+c=0; a=4, b=6, c=2
b^2-4ac=(6)^2-4(4)(2)=36-32
b^2-4ac=4
Answer: b^2-4ac=4
