Answer:

A. Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.

Explanation:

Earth's crust can be divided into two categories, oceanic and continental. More of the surface is covered by oceanic crust, but because ocean crust is thinner than continental crust, the volume of the latter is significantly greater.

Oceanic crust is also denser than continental crust as it is made up of basaltic rock, whereas it's continental counterpart contains a type of less dense rock called felsic.

Crazy boy [7]

In order to get to the result we will need to use the scale and the numbers that are provided of the dimensions of the room.

The dimensions of the room on the floor plan are 17.8 inches by 21.2 inches. We first need to multiply these numbers with the scale:

17.8 x 80 = 1,424

21.2 x 80 = 1,696

Now that we got the real measures we need to multiply these two values in order to get to a result as in how many square inches is the room:

1,424 x 1696 = 2,425,104

Now we need to convert the square inches into square feet to get to the final result:

1 ft² = 144 in²

2,425,104 / 144 = 16,771.56

So we have a result of 16,771.56 square feet.

O que você sabe a respeito das características econômicas do continente africano?
ikadub [295]

The African countries can easily be described and generalized, in the sense of the whole continent, as the economies are predominantly dependent on one or two products.

That dependence on one or two products is making very big problems, and it is also a very big mistake of the governments. When there's a slight variation in the prices on the certain product, the economies are heavily influenced, often in a bed manner.

It is weird though that the African countries have orientated their economies in this way, especially because the continent is very rich in lots of natural resources.
