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.

Destiny has distal symphalangism - her fingers and toes are stiff, with tiny nails. She looks it up and finds it is an autosomal
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

Distal symphalangism is a very rare bone disorder characterized by ankylosis of the distal interphalangeal joints of the hands and/or feet.

Back to the prior issue,

Probability is a field of mathematics that deals with calculating

the likelihood of occurrence of a specific event.

The likelihood of an event is expressed as a number between zero

(the event will never occur) and one (the event is certain). For

example, the probability of an outcome of heads on the toss of a

fair coin is ½ or 0.5. The probability of an event can also be

expressed as a percentage (e.g., an outcome of heads on the toss

of a fair coin is 50% likely) or as odds (e.g., the odds of heads on

the toss of a fair coin is 1:1).

So the probability of her child inheriting her condition is 1/2 since there are only 2 possible outcomes.

What happens to the force of gravity between two masses if one mass is increased?
LekaFEV [45]
Hey there!

So, pretty much what would happen is that <span>the </span>force of gravity<span> the </span>masses<span> exert on each other. So, when coming to the (gravity), most likely it would decrease, because the other forces of this object would have it's greater mass.

So, based from your answer options above, your correct answer would be (it increases).
