Answer:

a. 40%

Explanation:

The continental crust covers <u>40%</u> of the Earth's surface.

At 25 to 70 km, continental crust is considerably thicker than oceanic crust, which has an average thickness of around 7–10 km. About 40% of Earth's surface area and about 70% of the volume of the Earth's crust is the continental crust. Most continental crust is dry land above sea level.

Which two natural resources will be most affected as people try to meet the growing demand for food?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

water and land

Explanation:

I assume this is an open-ended question, so you could make an argument for lots of things, but these are the two most important ones in my opinion. The amount of freshwater on Earth is pretty small, only about 2.5%, and most of that is locked in ice. As the demand for food grows, the demand for water for crops and livestock also grows. This is in addition to the increase in water that is needed for a growing population. Climate change increases this problem because of drought. The second most important resource that will be affected is land. If we need more food, we also need space to grow crops and raise livestock. The available space is also reduced because people need places to live and we need to be able to grow trees for wood to build houses and other buildings. I argue that land and water will be the most in-demand commodities as the population continues to increase.

worty [1.4K]

This question is incomplete. Here´s the complete question.

A 70-year-old client with a diagnosis of left-sided stroke is admitted to the facility. To prevent the development of disuse osteoporosis, which objective is most appropriate?

a) Promoting range-of-motion (ROM) exercises

b) Promoting weight-bearing exercises

c) Maintaining protein levels

d) Maintaining vitamin levels

Answer: b) Promoting weight-bearing exercises

Explanation:

The bone is a living tissue that becomes stronger with exercise.  Weightlessness and immobility can lead to bone loss.  

Weight-bearing exercises are those that force us to work with gravity, like walking, hiking, jogging, climbing stairs, playing tennis, and dancing. They can help prevent disuse osteoporosis.

On the other hand, swimming and bicycling would be examples of non-weight-bearing exercises.
