The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) establishes a tax ceiling on reimbursement for business travel by car. The IRS ordinarily updates the mileage rates once in each calendar year; however, on occasion a special adjustment has been made within the year due to changed costs.
Figure 10h-2: Structure of the Earth's crust and top most layer of the upper mantle. The lithosphere consists of the oceanic crust, continental crust, and uppermost mantle. Beneath the lithosphere is the asthenosphere. This layer, which is also part of the upper mantle, extends to a depth of about 200 kilometers.
Layers of the Earth. Remember to be able to tell the difference between the oceanic crust and the continental crusts. And remember that the lithosphere is composed of the earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The 3 main layers are the core, mantle and crust. The mantle is composed of the mesosphere and the asthenosphere and the uppermost part of the mantle. That uppermost part of the mantle is what is combined with the crust to make the lithosphere.
