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.

Earth's population continues to grow daily. Which of the following statements best illustrates a possible consequence of such ra
Bezzdna [24]

A consequence of the growing population would be that  the competition for natural resources will increase.

Explanation:

The humans use the natural resources in their lives, for the development of the economy, technology etc. The human population is constantly growing though, even though the growth is slowly decreasing. The more people there are on the planet, the more natural resources will be needed to satisfy the demand for all of them. This will lead to increased competition for the natural resources, and unfortunately those kind of competitions don't end up well usually.

  • The natural resources are limited, thus they can only support particular amount of people on the planet.
  • Be it renewable or nonrenewable resources, they have their limits, so once those limits are passed, a lack of natural resources will occur.
  • Lack of natural resources will lead to existential crisis, and that is what often brings out the worst out of the humans.
  • Being in a situation to compete for resources in order to survive, the people will most probably engage into war in order to get them.
