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.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

A reverse force results from the compression of two plates. The compressional stresses leads to the collision or pushing of two rock plates or slabs into each other.  so the collapsing rock slabs are almost vertical but slightly tilted towards the left at the middle length. The foot wall and hanging wall move opposite to each other. Generally it takes place at tectonic plate boundaries.  

so

option C is correct

Which of the following statements is not true about ecosystems?
Luba_88 [7]

The statement that is not true is: A healthy ecosystem can support an unlimited number of life forms.

Any ecosystem has its limits. No matter is a healthy, in perfect shape, and very large ecosystem, there's always a limit as to how much life forms can the ecosystem support. If the number of life forms surpasses the ability of the ecosystem to support them, than the ecosystem will crash, be destroyed, and experience a lot of changes, with the death of lot of life forms involved in the process as well.

There isn't such thing as an ecosystem that has the ability to support an infinite number of life forms, there's only ecosystems that are able to support limited number of life forms.
