The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous

It takes brooke 10minutes to run 1 mile what is her speed in miles per minutes
hjlf

If you divide miles by minutes, the answer will have units of
miles per minute, which is exactly what you want.

(1 mile) / (10 minutes) = 1/10  mile/minute = 0.1 mile per minute

A 0.300 kg ball, moving with a speed of 2.5 m/s, has a head-on collision with at 0.600 kg ball initially at rest. Assuming a per
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of first ball=0.3 kg

Its speed before collision=2.5 m/s

Its speed after collision=2 m/s

Mass of second ball=0.6 kg

Momentum of 1st ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.3kg*2.5m/s

=0.75 kg m/s

Momentum of 2nd ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Since the first ball undergoes head on collision with the second ball,

momentum of first ball=momentum of second ball

0.75 kg m/s=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Velocity of 2nd ball=0.75 kg m/s ÷ 0.6 kg

=1.25 m/s

What two kinds of crust are involved in a subduction zone
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Oceanic crust and continental crust

Explanation:

A subduction zone is normally between oceanic crust which is made of basalt and continental crust which is made of granite. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. So when oceanic crust collides with continental crusts, it subsducts underneath the continental crust since it is denser.
