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.

What are three examples of actions undertaken in Japan in response to the earthquake and tsunami?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

In the aftermath of the nuclear crisis in Japan, the country engaged in a massive cleanup. It cleared tons of debris, rebuilt roadways and bridges, and demolished and cleared out damaged buildings. In the future, plans should be in place for organizing citizens in cleanup efforts, making the streets safe during cleanup, and safely disposing of debris.

In addition, public transportation and airports need to function as soon as possible after such an event. Therefore, government staff should develop disaster-recovery plans for the most vital transportation systems. Local governments also need to provide short-term and longer-term housing for those who lose their homes. Designated shelters, such as schools or other community buildings, should be made ready for this purpose. Governments also need to help people get insurance payments, loans for rebuilding, and sound advice for where to locate new homes and how to strengthen them.
