Answer:

The pacific floor (oceanic crust) is thinner and more denser

Explanation:

The continental crust have a thickness of about 35 to 40 km on an average, and are composed of rocks that has less denser granitic minerals such as feldspar, quartz.

On the other hand, the oceanic crust have a thickness of about 7 to 10 km on an average, and it is comprised of denser mafic rocks that contains high amount of olivine and pyroxene minerals.

Due to this, the oceanic crust subducts below the continental crust during the time of collision.

Thus, the pacific floor (oceanic crust) is thinner and more denser, in comparison to the South American continental crust.

Al considerar 51 m la distancia entre dos puntos situados realmente a 52.06 m cual es el error absoluto y relativo.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Absolute error = 1.06 m

Relative error = 0.02

Explanation:

When considering 51 m the distance between two points actually located at 52.06 m which is the absolute and relative error.

Given that the actual distance between the two points is 52.06 m

Considered distance = 51 m

Error = Actual value - Measured value

=52.06m - 51m

=1.06m

The value is already positive, so the absolute error is also 1.06m.

Relative error =( error)/(actual value)

=1.06/52.06=0.02

Hence the relative error is 0.02.

2. According to research, what is the most reliable form of identifying potentially effective reinforcers?
Dafna11 [192]

The most reliable form of identifying potentially effective reinforcers is known as Preference Assessment. It is an adaptive procedure vastly used in the field of reinforcers.

Explanation:

Preference Assessment identifies items that are likely to be effective as reinforcers by identifying a particular learner's preference for them.

  • Reinforcement is an important part of being an effective behavior technician and the preference assessments are crucial.
  • Plenty of research has shown that when you give the learner an opportunity to show you what they want that is a much better indication of what will work as a reinforcer rather than asking family.
  • Preference assessments identify attention, objects or activities that have a strong potential for serving as reinforcers for target clients. There are ethical reasons to use them.
  • Beyond the scope of the guide is the exhaustive review of the Preference assessment methodology and literature. However, interested readers go through Virus-Ortega et al(2014) for decision- making process and selecting an appropriate method of preference assessment for individuals with disabilities.
