Answer:

The given statement is True

Explanation:

Generally, basin and range areas of the world are mostly the direct outcome of the geological factors that underlie most notably -tectonic extensions. These have started 17 million years back and are  the outcome of lithosphere and earth crust being pulled apart due to tectonic movement. By the passage of time with progressive crust movement, it became stretched and thinner to a point where fracture can occur due to faults. Such faults are the outcome of normal faults. Western United States have a vast region covering its inland which is characterized by abrupt elevation changes, varying between flat arid basins to faulted and narrow chain of mountains.

Alex swims at an average speed of 45 mi./min. how far does he swim in one minute 24 seconds
kompoz [17]

Answer: Alex Swims 63 mi in one minute 24 seconds

Explanation:

Alex swims 45 miles in 1 minute so what we need to find is the 24 seconds.

You'd take 2 divided by 5 which is the simplified fraction of 24 seconds over 60 seconds

Simplifying the fraction to a decimal gives you 0.4 then multiply it by 45 giving 18.

45+18=63 mi
