Answer:

x = 0.48485\ GPa

Explanation:

Given

Rate = 0.1GPa/3.3km

Required:

Determine its pressure at 16km

Let the pressure at 16km be x.

So, the rate at 16km is:

Rate = x/16km

Equate both rates

x/16km = 0.1GPa/3.3km

Multiply both sides by 16

16km * x/16km = 0.1GPa/3.3km  * 16km

x = 0.1GPa/3.3  * 16

x = 1.6GPa/3.3

x = 0.48485\ GPa

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The Deccan plateau is a topographically variegated region located south of the Gangetic plains -the portion lying between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal- and includes a substantial area to the north of the Satpura Range, which has popularly been regarded as the divide between northern India and the Deccan. The plateau is bounded on the east and west by the Ghats, while its northern extremity is the Vindhya Range. The Deccan's average elevation is about 2,000 feet (600 m), sloping generally eastward; its principal rivers, the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, flow from the Western Ghats eastward to the Bay of Bengal. Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu is often regarded as the Southern gateway of Deccan plateau.

In your own words, define global ethics and global values.<br> help
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

it may help u...

Explanation:

The term GLOBAL ETHIC refers to a set of common moral values and ethical standards which are shared by the different faiths and cultures on Earth.

These common moral values and ethical standards constitute a humane ethic, or, the ethic of humanity. In view of the process of globalization this ethic of humanity has been termed by the famous Roman Catholic theologian and philosopher Professor Hans Küng as the “GLOBAL ETHIC”.

Although the concept of a GLOBAL ETHIC was at first introduced by Professor Hans Küng in 1989 it is, in his own words, “not a new invention but only a new discovery” of common principles which are as old as humankind.

There can be no doubt that a globalizing world with its tremendous social, ecological and moral problems needs a globalization of moral values and ethical standards, in short: a GLOBAL ETHIC, in order to survive as a place where our grandchildren and great-grandchildren can live a decent life.
