<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • This Mid-Atlantic ridge spreads at an average rate of about 2 and a half cm every year.
  • The ridge was discovered back in 1872 by a group of the expedition by the British aboard HMS Challenger.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Biome

Explanation:

Typically, in ecology we classify a large area with similar flora and fauna throughout its boundaries as a biome. These biomes have a relatively similar climate and terrain throughout their “borders” .This means that even though biomes can generally be similar on Earth, they're not all the same.

Given that a circle has a radius of 4inches and then a radius of 12inches after it has expanded. Given that the formula for a ci
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Rate of change = 3π or 9.43

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial radius, R1 = 4 inches

Final radius, R2 = 12 inches

To find the rate of change;

First of all, we would determine the area of the circle.

Mathematically, the area of a circle is given by the formula;

Area of circle = πr²

For initial radius, R1;

Area of circle, A1 = πR1²

Area of circle, A1 = 4π square inches

For final radius, R2;

Area of circle, A2 = πR2²

Area of circle, A2 = 12π square inches

Now, we can find the rate of change;

Rate of change = A2/A1

Rate of change = 12π/4π

Rate of change = 3π (in terms of pie).
