Any two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the measures of their corresponding sides are proportional: In the figure above the ratio or the scale factor of the quadrilateral to the left versus the quadrilateral to the right is ½.
Answer:
B. Isostatic equilibrium
Explanation:
Isostasy is a state of balance or equilibrium between the lithospheric plate and the underlying mantle, the asthenosphere.
Due to the weight of the lithosphere, part of it sinks into the plastic asthenosphere and settles to an equilibrium position. This is what causes changes and differences in elevation on the earth.
As with all natural processes, the earth in itself tries to achieve stability and equilibrium in all it parts. The crust and a portion of the mantle forms the brittle lithosphere. The lithosphere floats on the plastic mantle. Due to density contrast, portions of the lithosphere tends to sink into the mantle from time to time. The lithosphere reaches a point where it no longer sinks and establishes an equilibrium with the asthenosphere.
This isostatic adjustment that occurs within the earth is responsible for the changes in elevations from places to places.
When portions of the crust gets eroded, it becomes lighter and rises up. When materials are deposited in adjacent areas or glaciers forms, they add increasing weight to the crust and causes it to further settle within the asthenosphere.
<span>The positions north and south are measured in degrees latitude. Opposite to this, west and east of greenwich is measured in degrees longitude. That's why when determining a position you would say that something is 40 degrees north and 74 degrees west, and this exact position would point to New York City. The first number is how north above the equator it is and the second number how much west from Greenwich it is. </span>
