What is the farthest distance a human has ever been from earth?
Stolb23 [73]
In distance, it's something like maybe 245,000 miles ... corresponding to the
several Apollo missions during which a Command and Service module entered
lunar orbit and swung around the back side of the moon with astronauts aboard.

The farthest from Earth that a human has ever gone <em>and walked on solid ground</em>
is roughly 238,000 miles, corresponding to the six Apollo missions that landed
six pairs of astronauts on the near side of the surface of the moon, between 1969
and 1972 .

Occasionally earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries. Where do these earthqu
Valentin [98]

Answer:

 on land but close to oceans

Explanation:

A boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate will be near a coastline., not "far from the coast" or "in the middle of oceans."

Often, mountains are also near that boundary, but mountains may also exist elsewhere, so "anywhere there are mountains" is not an apt description.

The best choice is "on land but close to oceans."

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake near Japan was offshore by 67 km. It came from the subduction zone where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It is an example of a plate boundary quake that occurred offshore, rather than on land.

Which of these statements describes a disadvantage of shade-grown coffee
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. A disadvantage of shade-grown coffee beans is that shade-grown coffee trees produce fewer coffee beans per plant.

Explanation:

The expression “shade coffee” designates coffee produced on trees cultivated under a canopy rather than in vast fields exposed to the sun, which in turn is a very productive technique but requires, for the maintenance of a high yield, the irrigation and spreading of large quantities of polluting pesticides and fertilizers. Rather, shade trees protect coffee trees from rain and sunlight, help preserve soil quality, reduce the amount of weed control needed, and provide habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. The organic matter produced by these trees also provides natural mulch which reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, prevents erosion and provides important nutrients to the soil. But the negative part of this type of coffee growing is that it produces a lesser amout of coffe beans.
