Answer:

The astenosphere is located below the lithosphere

The mantle is composed of silicate material

Explanation:

The Earth has several different layers, and they can be presented in two different manners, depending on their chemical composition and their physical properties. According to the chemical composition the Earth has three layers, crust, mantle, and core, while in accordance to the physical properties it has five, lithosphere, astenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core.

The astenosphere is the second layer from the top, and it lies just below the lithosphere. It is also the upper part of the mantle. The mantle is a layer that is largely composed of silicate material, mostly silicate molten rock. It can easily be seen from the volcanic activities that this layer is composed of silicate material because the magma is rich in it, and the magma comes from this layer.

A high gradient in air temperature and pressure can cause a jet stream, characterized by high-speed winds. Through which marked

solong [7]

Answer:D -it causes high-pressure air mASses to rotate clockwise

Explanation:

Jet stream is a very fast air stream that occurs in the upper troposphere. Jet streams occur around the earth surrounding it and following an undulating course. These air jets were discovered during the air raids in World War II.

Occurring in the upper levels of the troposphere, this current is of great importance to aviation and can be harnessed to provide fuel economy to the aircraft that penetrate them by taking advantage of the momentum provided by their intense winds. There are two types of jet stream: the subtropical jet, with higher altitude being found between latitudes of 20 ° and 30 °; and the lower altitude polar jet, being generally located between the circumpolar region and the average latitudes (40 ° -70 °). Regardless of the type, jet streams form a boundary between a cold air mass and a hot air mass.

Which of the following concepts explains the decision to re-locate market-oriented factories in the United States from the Midwe

slava [35]

Answer: A. Comparative advantage, because products can be made more efficiently in the southern United States and Mexico. Operating costs and wages are lower, and the manufactured products are easily transported to major United States markets.

Explanation: Comparative advantage of a location is the ability to produce a good at lower cost than elsewhere. Lower wages, as well as lower operating costs in Mexico and Southern states achieve this comparative advantage by reducing total cost. Their locations are still quite close to the Midwest and North east, in contrast with popular outsourcing locations such as China. It therefore makes sense to relocate factories to these locations.
