The idea of time zones is to have a particular time of day have the same meaning worldwide. For example, noon will be the point in time when the sun is the highest, if you compare from exactly on one line of a longitude line that is used to determine the time zone (actual time zone lines change based on settlements and politics, so use the longitude line it is based on). 

<span>The sun rises and sets based on the earth's rotation on its axis. Time zones divide the earth into 24 areas that will be rotated into. Latitude lines have nothing to do with the time of day or the earth's rotation--they tell you where something is north and south rather than east and west.</span>

Which of the following best explains why Earth is tectonically active?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

C. Earth's solid surface layer sits on a moving, semiliquid layer.

Explanation:

Earth is highly tectonically active because the solid layer of the earth sits on a moving, semi-liquid layer.

The earth's crust is broken into slabs. Together with part of the upper mantle, they form a layer called the lithosphere. These solid lithospheric bodies are called tectonic plates.

  • Under the plates is a semi-molten layer under great temperature.
  • As the molten layer moves, it carries the lithosphere on top of it.
  • This causes the movement of the plates in different directions.
  • The semi-liquid layer is called the asthenosphere

This is the reason why the earth is tectonically active.

How many gallons each of 25% alcohol and 5% alcohol should be mixed to obtain 20 gallons of 12% alcohol?
Kamila [148]

Should've put this in mathematics, you know? But don't worry, mistakes happen!

Though, in order to do this problem, we need to add 20 for the total gallon.

Let's use X for a placeholder to determine the amount, as the gallon of 25% alcohol and percentages can be in decimal forms. It'd be 0.25x gallons worth of alcohol afterwards. We then add 20-x gallons to 5% of alcohol, which is 0.05(20-x).

This would then allow us to find the sum of 20 gallons to 20% of alcohol, containing at least 0.2(20) gallons of the alcohol.

We'd then be able to develop this equation;

0.25x + 0.05(20-x) = 0.2(20).

And then so on the sequence continues...


0.25x + 1 - 0.05x = 4

0.2x = 3

x = 3/0.2

We'd then be able to come to a conclusion that;

1. X equals 15 gallons of 25% alcohol

2. 20-x equals 5 gallons of 5% alcohol.

According to the map on page 251 of your textbook, which of the following states or territories listed below contained the most
Rudik [331]
It would be easier to answer if i could see the grafic from your textbook, but here is some information, hopefully useful:

A. Montana
historically the second largest producer of silver

B. Nevada
-currently the second largest producer of silver - after Alaska
I think that I would go with this answer - was also home to the Comstock Lode, Tonapah and  Eureka silver mining districts.

D. California
-has a number of silver mines
