Answer:

23.3m

Explanation:

If you use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this, think of the tip of the building to the tip of the tip of the shadow as the hypotenuse then set it up like this, 30^2+x^2=38^2

subtract 30^2 from each side to get x^2=38^2-30^2

x^2=544

x=\sqrt{544}

x=23.32380

x=23.3m

convection causes the asthenosphere to move. friction then moves the lithosphere above it. which geologic process is this?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

This geological process is called Mantle drag .

What is Mantle drag?

According to the first driving mechanism, known as mantle drag, plate motion is the consequence of viscous drag brought on by the lateral motion of the tops of mantle convection cells in the asthenosphere on the base of the lithosphere . Convection cells would thus be mostly absent beneath continents, rising beneath oceanic ridges, and dropping beneath trenches. This idea states that the oceanic lithosphere would be in a state of tension at the ocean ridges and compression at the trenches.

Due to their connection to accretive and destructive plate boundaries, the horizontal widths of the convection cells causing mantle drag would be projected to be around half an ocean's breadth, or 3000 km.

Paragraph-how high GDP can affect child mortality​
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The authors found that, on average, a 1% reduction in the per capita GDP implies a 0.24 to 0.40 increase in infant mortality per 1,000 live births. In a more recent study, O’Hare et al.17 found effects of 0.33 for infant mortality and 0.28 for under-five mortality. These results are higher than those observed in the present study, which found an association of approximately 0.12 for infant mortality and 0.10 for under-five mortality rate for the total sample, and 0.15 and 0.14, respectively, for the subsample of low- and middle-income countries. This difference is probably due to the countries included in the sample, as Baird et al.14 and O’Hare et al.17 include only middle- and low-income countries in their analysis, while the present study included countries from the three income strata, with only 14% of the sample consisting of low-income countries. According to Maruthappu et al.6, the effect of economic crises on the health of children under five in the poorest countries is three-fold higher than the effect on children in high-income countries.
