These two theories are related because they are continuity from one another. The theory of plate tectonics insinuates that the crust layer is broken into multiple pieces, this is caused by the pressure of the mantle layer, which managed to break the crust where it is thinner. The theory of continental drift insinuates that the tectonic plates move around the Earth because of the pressure from the hot semi-liquid mantle layer.

The difference between continental drift and plate tectonics is that the theory of continental drift states that the world was made up of a single continent.The theory of plate-tectonics, on the other hand, states that earth's surface is broken into numbers of shifting plates or slabs.

Robins are birds that sing to attract mates. Two male robins, Robin A and Robin B, are both singing to attract females. Robin A
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

As days grow longer in spring, robins suddenly develop an urge to move northward, to separate from other robins and live on a territory, and to build a nest and raise babies. But they can’t separate from every single robin! In order to raise babies, they need to choose one particular robin who they’ll allow on their territory to be their mate.

The first thing robins do in spring is to arrive on and claim a territory. We can easily observe males doing this; they sing as well as chase other males off the territory. Females are much quieter, but equally determined to defend their territory against other females.

Females arrive on territory a few days to a week behind the males. Most of the males’ territorial battles are over by then. Females probably select a territory by how good the habitat looks, but often notice the territory in the first place because of the male’s singing. When a female enters a male’s territory, he doesn’t chase her away. He does notice her, often singing even more. If she likes what she sees and hears, she starts looking around for a good place to build a nest. It turns out that even though robins are devoted mates, they first fell in love—not with each other but with the territory!

The mates stay closely bonded during the summer season. Each is responsible for certain jobs as they raise their babies. The female builds the nest, though the male often brings her some of the materials. He continues to sing as she lays the eggs and incubates them. When the babies hatch, both the parents get busy feeding them. When the babies fledge (leave the nest), both parents continue to follow them and feed them for a few days. But then the female gets busy building a new nest and laying new eggs. While she incubates the new brood, the male continues taking care of the older babies. He leads them to a stand of trees in the evening where they will roost with other robins. By the time the new eggs hatch, the older babies are ready to be on their own, and the male is able to help feed the new babies.

Which statement about fishing in russia is true​
eimsori [14]

Remember the saying,

<em>"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man how to fish and he will eat forever"</em>

Well the Gopniks in Russia wrongly translated with saying to: teach a man how to become a fish and he will eat forever. So during the 1970-90s the gopniks all gathered near the lakes in order to satisfy their famine from communist regime. Unfortunately humans can not breathe under water so, fisherman in present day are still recovering bodies from the bottom of these lakes of these gopniks. Thousands still remain in lakes across this nation.
