The correct option is C.
Scientists believed that the earth tectonic plates are in constant motion, this motion is slow and its rates vary. The motions of the tectonic plates are caused by the convection current which is found in semi molten mantle. The convection current are created by heat within the earth surface. When a semi molten rock is heated, it become less in density compared to its surrounding and thus rises up. When the less dense molten rock reaches the crust above, it spread out and carries the tectonic plate above with it. When the molten magma cools down, it sinks and the whole process is repeated leading to continuous movement of the tectonic plates.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]
(Carnivorous) They don't rely as much on the mechanical breakdown of foods in the mouth as much as they usually eat their prey whole. They also have U-shaped stomachs.
They regurgitate indigestible things (e.g. Large Bones)
They have shorter, spiralling intestines, but this means it also has a large surface area.

Which of the following will allow for the greatest reduction in an individual’s carbon footprint?
goldfiish [28.3K]

The carbon footprint can be decreased by a great amount if the incandescent bulbs are replaced with the compact fluorescent bulbs. The compact fluorescent bulbs uses approximately seventy five percent less energy than the incandescent bulbs as they do not use heating mechanism to light. This leads  to less emission of the green house gases and thereby reducing the carbon footprint.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option a - replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs'.
