Geography

One reason is that the plates float on a hot boiling mentle. when the heat rises and the mentle expands the plates above it also moves. 
the other reason is that the plates themselves move.plates have warmer inner sides that tend to rise. and colder outer side that tends to sink. this tug of war between the hotter and colder sides of the plate also helps them move.

as a ray of white lightpasses trough a prism dispersionoccurswich among the colorof the visiblespectrumrefracted the MOST
Sidana [21]

Violet color of the visible spectrum will be refracted the most, as a ray of white light passes trough a prism dispersion occurs.

Violet light refracts the most as it passes through air and into a prism during dispersion because it has a shorter wavelength in the visible light spectrum (about 400 nanometers) than red light (650 nanometers). A variety of colours make up visible light, commonly referred to as white light.  

Light passing through a triangular prism frequently produces these hues. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet are created as the white light passes through the prism. Dispersion is the process through which visible light is divided into its various colours. Each colour corresponds to a different wave frequency, and different frequencies of light waves bend differently when they pass through a prism.

The correct question is "As a ray of white light passes trough a prism dispersion occurs, which among the color of the visible spectrum refracted the most?"

A transform boundary occurs where plates slide against each other. <br> a. True<br> b. False
STatiana [176]

The correct answer is - True.

The transform boundaries of the tectonic plates are boundaries where two tectonic plates are sliding against each other. As they do that, they do create geological activity around the boundary, and earthquakes are a common occurrence. Another trademark of these boundaries are the faults, that stretch for several km in a linear manner, usually parallel to the boundary itself. Most of these faults are located in the ocean basins and they are connecting the offsets of the mid-ocean ridges, but they can also be found on land, like it is the case in California.
