Answer: c. a meteoroid
Both meteor and meteorite are meteoroids that have penetrated the Earth's atmosphere while meteoroids are small parts of an asteroid or comet that are found orbiting the sun or near the Earth
An economy that balances government intervention with free enterprise is known as a mixed economy. This is the scenario in which the assets of country is owned by both the private and the government individuals. The ownership is shared. Unlike in the command economies where the government owns assets and in the free market its vise versa.
Answer:
Extensional faulting observed in southwestern Mexico has been related to the incipient rifting of the Jalisco block from the Mexican mainland since the Pliocene. On the basis of new structural and geophysical data, we propose that (1) the continental boundaries of the Jalisco block are ancient structures reactivated since the Pliocene at a low (<1 mm/yr) rate of deformation, and (2) Pliocene-Quaternary extensional faulting at the edges of Jalisco block is a basement-controlled intraplate deformation related to plate boundary forces rather than to active continental rifting. The Jalisco block boundaries first developed in response to the uplift of the Puerto Vallarta batholith in pre-Neogene time and underwent a complex contractile deformation before the Pliocene. During Pliocene-Quaternary times north-northeast extension reactivated the northern boundary, forming the Tepic-Zacoalco rift, whereas east-southeast extension formed the northern Colima rift. South of the Colima volcano, active extension is found only west of the so-called southern Colima rift and partly reactivates old northeast-trending basement faults. The parallelism between the subducted Rivera-Cocos plate boundary zone and the eastern neotectonic boundary of the Jalisco block supports eastsoutheastward motion of the southern Mexican blocks induced by the differential motion and oblique subduction of the Cocos and Rivera plates. On the other hand, we envisage Pliocene-Quaternary extension along the northern boundary as an upper-plate response to the low convergence rate and the steep subduction angle of the Rivera plate.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The average salt content of seawater as measured in parts per thousand (ppt) would be 35 ppt. <span>The salinity of </span>seawater<span> is usually 35 </span>parts per thousand<span> in most marine areas. Hope this answers the question.</span>
I think it’s all except the second one and the last
