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.
Although containing only continental crust or oceanic crust in any one cross-section, lithospheric plates may contain various sections that exclusively contain either oceanic crust or continental crust and therefore lithospheric plates may contain various combinations of oceanic and continental crust.art of the oceanic lithosphere is connected to the mantle; this segment is composed of peridotite. Continental lithospheric plates are quite different than their oceanic counterparts. First, they are much older than the lithosphere below the ocean; some plates are billions of years old.
