What are some rapid changes to the earths surface. what are some slow changes to the earths surface

A slow change to the earth's surface would be the formation of mountain ranges over millions of years due to the shifting of tectonic plates under the earth. Also, another slow change could be considered erosion or weathering. Two rapid changes could be landslides and earthquakes.

What are elliptical galaxies mostly made of?

HACTEHA [7]

E0 ellipticals are nearly circular, while E7s are very stretched out. Elliptical galaxies are made up of mostly old stars, and do not have much gas and dust. There is very little new star formation in these galaxies.

Why would it be beneficial to use patterns of stars as a tool for navigation?

kiruha [24]

Because circumpolar constellations never rise or set, they provide reliable reference points for astronavigation. Knowing the circumpolar constellations in each hemisphere allows navigators to find their way using only the stars.

You're building a 12 foot ramp to the entrance of a building 3 feet above the ground. The ADA regulations require the incline of

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can assume that:

the 12 foot ramp to the entrance of a building is the base of a right angled triangle and the 3 feet above the ground should be the height above the ground basement. The by using the tangent of a triangle from the knowledge of our trigonometric function; we have:

$\mathbf{tan \ \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}}$

$\mathbf{tan \ \theta = \frac{3}{12}} \\ \\ \mathbf{tan \ \theta = 0.25 } \\ \\ \mathbf{\theta = tan^{-1} (0.25)} \\ \\ \mathbf{\theta = 14.04^o}$

The degree measure of the angle of elevation is 14.04°

NO, it doesn't fit the requirements.

We can increase the foot ramp to 34 feet instead of being the 12 given value in order to fit the requirements.
