Answer:

4.54 km of earth's crust lies within mantel.

Explanation:

  • Earth's continental crust is made of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks and is composed of SIAL elements. The continental crust is made of various layers and has a density of 2.83 g/cm, while the oceanic crust is about 2.9 g/cm.
  • The ontientla crust has usual thickness of 40 km (25 miles) thick and floats or rests on upper mantel or i.e the asthenosphere. While other parts of it lies within the mantel the depth of the continental crust ranges to 100 km,  
  • where r/25 = 2.7 / 3.2  
  • r/25 = 0.82  
  • r= 0.82 x 25  
  • r= 20.46  
  • 25 - 20.46 is 4.54 km.

These statements describe the Nile River.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

After reading the statement for answer, I noticed that some were true and some were false.  So, I'll assume your question is related to that fact.

Here's an analysis of the statements:

Ancient civilizations once lived along the Nile.

TRUE. That's why we encounter the pyramids in that region.

Fertile lands surround the Nile.

TRUE, since the Nile is THE most important source of water in the area, it's logical for it to be the location of agriculture.

Few people live near the river.

FALSE.  In Ancient times and today, the Nile shores host most of the population of Egypt, a large part of the country being essentially a chunk of the Sahara desert.

The Nile provides irrigation for surrounding farms.

TRUE. The Nile is virtually the only source of abundant water in the area.

The Nile runs through Libya and Tunisia.

FALSE. Libya and Tunisia are WEST of the country of Egypt and have nothing to do with the Nile.

So, depending if you had to find the TRUE or FALSE statements in this list, make your pick.  I hope that helps.

What is the most common type of vegetation in southwest and central asia
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Desert Scrub.

Explanation:

Desert Scrub normally refers to a desert biome. However, it can also be used to describe several types of plants that grow on these habitats, such as the creosote bush or the rabbitbrush, and others.

These types of plants are capable of withstanding environments with very little precipitation like the southwest and central regions of Asia, which is mostly covered by great extensions of desert biome.
