The currents of the major oceanic gyre systems are driven by the drag of surface winds that are part of the major anticyclonic pressure and wind systems over the ocean basins. Option A. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is an Oceanic gyre system?</h3>

Generally, An ocean gyre is simply defined as a huge system of circular ocean currents generated by world round wind patterns and energy caused by the rotation of the Earth.

In conclusion, Surface wind drag is caused by the large anticyclonic pressure and wind systems that exist across the ocean basins.

During the Paleozoic and Precambrian eras, there was only one large expanse of land. Where was this land located?
aleksandrvk [35]

The answer is D. The Palaeozoic era was characterized by the supercontinent of Pannotia which was located at the current position where Chile is, 500 million years ago. There is evidence that shows that central Africa was once at the polar regions due to evidence of glaciers in its geological rocks. Due to tectonic movement, the Appalachians and the Ural Mountains were formed in the resulting Pangea supercontinent.

9. Which forces do scientists believe are responsible for the movement of Earth's
SIZIF [17.4K]
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.

Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
