Answer : option B) Gravity acting on the edges of plates and friction between the plate and the asthenosphere.

Explanation : The gravitational force acting on the edges of the tectonic plates raise a friction between the plate and the asthenosphere, which results into the motion of the tectonic plates.

Usually, the tectonic plates are found to move because of the intense heat produced from the Earth's core which causes the molten rock in the mantle layer to move and make a motion. It moves in a pattern which is called as convection cell that forms when the warm material rises, and cools, later eventually sink down producing the motion in the tectonic plates.

Engine size is measured by how much air the cylinders displace. A 1996 Pontiac V8 has an engine size of 316.6 cubic inches. What

inna [77]

The size of this engine in cubic meters is $0.0052 m^{3}$ .

Explanation:

As it is stated that engine size can be measured depending upon the amount of air the cylinders displace, it is also stated that the engine of model Pontiac V8 has a size of 316.6 cubic inches. The problem is to convert the size of engine in cubic meters. We know that 1 inch = 0.0254 m.

Then $1 inch^{3}=(0.0254)^{3} m^{3}$

As here the size of engine is 316.6 cubic inches, then in metres it will be

$316.6 \text { inches }^{3}=316.6 \times(0.0254)^{3} \mathrm{m}^{3}=0.0052 \mathrm{m}^{3}$

Thus, the size of the engine in cubic meters will be $0.0052 m^{3}$ .
