Caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle rising, then cooling, sinking again and then heating, rising and repeating the cycle over and over.
It is the movements within the Earth's mantle caused by the heat of the core. The region where two or more tectonic plates meet.

A small logo is embedded in a thick block of crown glass (n = 1.52), 4.70 cm beneath the top surface of the glass. The block is
harkovskaia [24]

The concept required to solve this problem is the optical relationship that exists between the apparent depth and actual or actual depth. This is mathematically expressed under the equations.

d'w = d_w (\frac{n_{air}}{n_w})+d_g (\frac{n_{air}}{n_g})

Where,

d_g = Depth of glass

n_w = Refraction index of water

n_g = Refraction index of glass

n_{air} = Refraction index of air

d_w = Depth of water

I enclose a diagram for a better understanding of the problem, in this way we can determine that the apparent depth in the water of the logo would be subject to

d'w = d_w (\frac{n_{air}}{n_w})+d_g (\frac{n_{air}}{n_g})

d'w = (1.7cm) (\frac{1}{1.33})+(4.2cm)(\frac{1}{1.52})

d'w = 4.041cm

Therefore the distance below the upper surface of the water that appears to be the logo is 4.041cm

Answer: The free ending nerves.

Explanation:

At our fingertips, we have a lot of sensory nerve endings, that give information about changes that occur at your skin.

Like touching something with a given texture, feeling pain, or noticing changes in temperature.

There are different types of nerve endings, particularly the ones responsible to detect pain, and temperature are the free nerve endings.

So Marcus may have the free nerve endings damaged.

Which of the following is not a form of an inclined plane?
disa [49]

Answer: piece of paper cut into a triangle  

Explanation:

A plane surface lifted at an angle to horizontal from one edge is said to be an inclined plane. A wedge, a ramp or a screw are examples of a forms of inclined plane. A screw is like a inclined plane wound on a cylinder. These are simple machines. On the other hand, a piece of paper cut into a triangle is not an inclined plane as it does rise at an angle from horizontal. It is not a machine.
