Because of the differences in physical properties, the lithosphere is effectively detached from the asthenosphere, allowing layers to move separately.

<h3>What is  Lithosphere?</h3>
  • The Lithosphere, the earth's powerful outer layer, lies over the weak Asthenosphere.
  • Under the lithosphere is the Asthenosphere, a hotter and weaker portion of the mantle.
  • The lithosphere is divided into roughly twenty-four smaller pieces, or lithospheric plates.
  • These plates are always moving.
<h3>What is the theory of plate tectonics?</h3>

According to the widely recognised scientific hypothesis known as plate tectonics, the Earth's lithosphere is made up of many sizable tectonic plates that have been steadily moving for nearly 3.4 billion years.

Does a physicist studies cells and life cycles?
zepelin [54]
Hey there!

No, that would be a biologist. Biologists study biology, or life. They're focused on life cycles, cells, evolution, and so much more.

Physicists focus on physics. They learn about forces, motion, and the study of the universal forces like gravity, momentum, and speed. Just like mathematics, they study patterns and look for new discoveries to be found in the fields of science, physics, and even mathematics.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

KE = 1/2 * m * v^{2}

Explanation:

use the formula:

KE = 1/2 * m * v^{2}

KE = kinetic energy in joules (J)

m = mass in kg

v = velocity in m/s
