<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Continental plate is less denser than the oceanic plate so it is floating on the oceanic plate.  </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Continental plate is composed of Silicon and Aluminium materials otherwise it is known as SiAl layer, its average density is 3 g/m3. Oceanic plate is composed of Silicon and Magnesium minerals otherwise it is known as SiMa layer and its average density is 5 g/cm3. Both continent and ocean plate lies in the Lithospehere, it extends up to 100 km of the below earth. Temperature will increase if we go beyond every metre in depth.

Why are meteoroids not considered dwarf planets?<br><br> HELP PLS:)
Lelu [443]

Answer: When asteroids enter the atmosphere of Earth or any other planet, they are called meteorites. Typically, asteroids are too small to form a circular shape, unlike dwarf planets or comets.

Explanation:  

Why are meteoroids not considered dwarf planets?

<em>Key difference: A dwarf planet is “a celestial body in direct orbit of the Sun that is massive enough for its shape to be controlled by gravitation, but that unlike a planet has not cleared its orbital region of other objects.” An asteroid, on the other hand, is a large chunk of rock that orbits around the sun.</em>

In \triangle EFG,△EFG, \overline{GE}\cong \overline{FG} GE ≅ FG and \text{m}\angle F = 55^{\circ}.M∠F=55 Find \text{m}\angle E.M
lidiya [134]

Answer: \text{m}\angle E=55^{\circ}.

Explanation:

We are given that,

In △EFG,

\overline{GE}\cong \overline{FG}

\text{m}\angle F = 55^{\circ}

To find: \text{m}\angle E

As we know that, angles opposite to the congruent sides of a triangle are congruent.

Thus, In △EFG

if \overline{GE}\cong \overline{FG} and \text{m}\angle F = 55^{\circ}

then it implies \text{m}\angle F =\text{m}\angle E= 55^{\circ}

Hence, we get \text{m}\angle E=55^{\circ}.
