Answer: c. Oxygen, silicon, and aluminium

Explanation:

The common elements in the Earth's crust in order of decreasing abundance are as follows:  

Oxygen: Oxygen is the most abundant element on earth's crust. It makes up 46.6%. It exists as compound of the silicate minerals. It is used for industrial, commercial and medical purposes.

Silicon: Silicon is the second most common and abundant element on the earth crust. It makes up the concentration of 27.7%. It combines with the minerals of silica to form the silicate minerals. It is used for the purpose of ceramics, cosmetics, glass and other products.

Aluminium: Aluminium is the third most common and abundant element on the earth crust. It makes up the concentration of 8.1%. The aluminum exists in the form of aluminium oxide, potassium aluminium sulfate and aluminium hydroxide. It is used for the purpose of manufacture of rockets, machinery and automobiles.

Why is it winter in Australia when it is summer in the United States?
ValentinkaMS [17]
The main reason is that the USA is in the Northern Hemisphere & Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere. It has all to do with the tilt of the earth as it revolves around the Sun. Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun.

From the top of a building 42 feet high, the angle of depression to a car stopped on the ground it is 27°. What is the distance
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

82.43\ \text{feet}

Explanation:

Angle of depression = 27^{\circ}

b = Height of building = 42 feet

\theta=90-27=63^{\circ}

p = Distance from the car to the base of the building

From the trigonometric identities we get

\tan\theta=\dfrac{p}{b}\\\Rightarrow p=b\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow p=42\tan63^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow p=82.43\ \text{feet}

The distance from the car to the base of the building is 82.43\ \text{feet}.

How can democracy best<br> be represented
Delvig [45]

Answer:

When the United States was founded, the Founders created a democratic republic, a system of government in which the power to govern comes from the people, but elected officials represent their interests. This system of government allows American citizens to participate in government in many ways.

The United States also has many different levels and branches of government that any citizen or group might approach. Many people take this as evidence that US citizens, especially as represented by competing groups, can influence government actions. Some political theorists, however, argue that this is not the case. These different opinions have sprouted three popular models of democracy: participatory, pluralist, and elite.

We can see each model of democracy in the American government today. In this article, we’ll define participatory, pluralist, and elite democracy and describe examples of each.
