Answer:
The earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14). Recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. It is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. Both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. The upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.
Each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. The term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. Other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the Great Rift lakes in eastern Africa and the rising of the Himalayan Mountain range. The motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

Collision: when two continental plates are shoved together
Subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (Fig. 7.15)
Spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (Fig. 7.15)
Transform faulting: when two plates slide past each othe
Explanation:
Not everyone has the exact same number of cells in their body, but we all have trillions. I hope this helps cx
<h2>Cellular respiration </h2>
Explanation:
- Cellular respiration is defined as a ATP generating process in which organic molecule is oxidized and inorganic molecule is final electron acceptor
- Pain experienced in leg muscles is the result of formation of lactic acid in muscle cells
- Under low oxygen, NADH cannot be reoxidized to NAD+ but NAD+ is required as an electron acceptor to continue glycolysis
- In lactic acid fermentation pyruvate is the final electron acceptor and converted in lactate
- Reaction catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase
- The pain in her chest is caused from the lack of oxygen she received while running so her chest starts to heavily breathe so that the lungs can receive as much oxygen possible
Answer:The gases became hotter, and pressure increased
Explanation: This is the exact answer so i would rephrase the way it’s stated.
<span>The best definition of a fossil is any trace of an organism that lived in the past. Technically, a couple of the other choices (i.e. trace of an organism turned to rock, a hard part of an organism that has been preserved) could be considered within this group.</span>
