The driving force for the movement of lithosphere plates is convection currents. These currents are found in the inner core of the earth and take the heat from the core to the lithosphere. Tectonic plates are able to move because of the relative density of oceanic lithosphere and the relative weakness of the asthenosphere. Dissipation of heat from the mantle is acknowledged to be the original source of energy driving plate tectonics. The current view, although it is still a matter of some debate, is that excess density of the oceanic lithosphere sinking in subduction zones is the most powerful source of plate motion.
Answer:
4 1/4
Explanation:
17/4 = 4/4 + 4/4 + 4/4 + 4/4 + 1/4
4 + 4 = 8
4 + 4 = 8
8+8=16 = 16/4
16/4 + the 1/4 remaining in the equation = 17/4
so 4/4 + 4/4 + 4/4 + 4/4 = 4
4 + 1/4 = 4 1/4
sorry if you couldnt follow along. I am not good at explaining things but the answer is 4 1/4

An organelle is a specialized structure inside Eukaryotic cells.
There are two main<span> types of physical weathering: Freeze-thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart. Exfoliation occurs as cracks develop parallel to the land surface a consequence of the reduction in pressure during uplift and erosion.</span>
Sterilization is the process that kills all microbes by the use of physical/chemical agents.
