The asthenosphere lies directly below the lithosphere. It is the gooey, plastic-y uppermost layer of the mantle, and the continental plates float above it.

How does distance from the sea affect the climate?​
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Oceans heat up and cool down much more slowly than land. This means that coastal locations tend to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter than places inland at the same latitude and altitude.

Explanation:

Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate. Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.

How do tectonic plates move? Slide past one another sh Together O All of these are correct Apart​
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.

Tommy and Erin are building a skateboard ramp. They want the ramp to be 3 feet tall and 5 feet long.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Full question is attached.

Tommy's reasoning is wrong because the hypotenuse is not 5 feet.

A skateboard ramp resembles a right angles triangle so its sides resemble that of a right angled triangle.

The height of 3 feet would be the height of the triangle.

The length of 5 feet would be the length of the triangle.

The piece of plywood that would cover the top of the frame would be the hypotenuse.

In using the Pythagoras rule, the c is the hypotenuse but Tommy made the mistake of assuming that the hypotenuse was b which is where the error came from.

Instead of solving for b, they should have been solving for c which is the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

3² + 5² = c²

9 + 25 = c²

c² = 34

c = √34

c = 5.83 feet

They should use a plywood of 5.83 feet not 4 feet.
