Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The composition of the atmosphere is about 80% of nitrogen and is 20% of oxygen by mass.
  • At a height of more than 20 kilometers above the surface of the earth this pressure decrease as the gases are attracted to gravity and thus decrease in air molecules at the height above or beyond this layer as the region of mixing ends.
  • Layers above the 30 kilometers are cool and temperature inversion occurs with a low density of air. If assuming the temperature to be fixed at the 25 degrees the pressure with atmosphere gaining height would still not change as rarefying of air particles and only the presence of earth's magnetic field.
  • As it will keep on getting thinner and thinner and merge into outer space.

Farm &amp; ranch families account for roughly how much of the US population?
slavikrds [6]
<span>As of 2016, farm and ranch families made up only two percent of the total US population. The amount of farmer and ranching families has declined at a fast pace since it's peak in 1935. In the last twenty years most of the decline can be blamed on how little farmers and ranchers make from the food they grow or raise. Farmers and ranchers only receive, on average, sixteen cents for every dollar that is spent on food in both grocery stores, down from about thirty-one cents for every dollar in the 1980's.</span>

An example of quaternary economic activity is _____.
Oduvanchick [21]

The correct answer is - B. deciding how many cans of vegetables to store at a warehouse.

The quaternary economic activities do not involve physical involvement into the production, trade, or storage of the products, but instead, this type of economic activity is performed strictly by using ones brain, thus making decisions and plans that are going to be performed by the workers in the primary and secondary (occasionally in the tertiary) economic layers.
