Explain how the composition of the mantle is important to plate tectonics

Biology

Answer:

The composition of mantle plays a pivotal role for enhancing the energy and drifting forces for movement of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The mantle of earth is formed of oxygen is high proportion, silicon and magnesium, along with presence of calcium, iron, aluminium, potassium and sodium. These are all combined in the form of silicates or oxides. Often, the molten rock material commonly known as magma that erupts from an volcano, accumulated in the earth crust on the mantle. The heat from the core of the earth is transmitted by the process of convection which is facilitated by mantle. This heat or energy is mainly responsible for movement of plate tectonics which results in disastrous consequences like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and so on.

The Florida Panther is the brown and gray species the puma family. For years a small population of the panther lived in the wood
Tasya [4]

The correct answer is - a. It will reduce genetic diversity.

The pumas that live in Florida, also known as the Florida Panthers, will have a much reduced genetic diversity. The reason for this is that the population is very small. It also lives in the same area, where the living conditions are the same. The genetic pool is very small, and the breeding is going on between individuals that have the same traits, and are also relatively closely related, as the mating occurs between the second or third generation that came out form the same parents. That will result in a very reduced genetic diversity, so the Florida Panther will remain the same if the conditions do not change drastically, or these an invasion of pumas from the west into their territory.
