What is the driving force for the movement of lithospheric plates ?

Biology
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
4 0
The driving force for the movement of lithosphere plates is convection currents. These currents are found in the inner core of the earth and take the heat from the core to the lithosphere. Tectonic plates are able to move because of the relative density of oceanic lithosphere and the relative weakness of the asthenosphere. Dissipation of heat from the mantle is acknowledged to be the original source of energy driving plate tectonics. The current view, although it is still a matter of some debate, is that excess density of the oceanic lithosphere sinking in subduction zones is the most powerful source of plate motion.

Which is the best example of organisms that have been naturally selected?
KengaRu [80]
<span>Natural selection is when species learn to adapt to their environment. They could (1) differential reproduction, that is, not all organisms are able to reproduce to their fullest capacity because nature cannot simply sustain it and (2) acquire genes, that is heredity. Certain characteristics of organisms tend to survive if it continues to strive. If it survives, this trait is passed down to the next generations forgetting the other traits but only the one who could survive the environment. Therefore it is true that <span>natural selection is when ‘organisms inherit advantageous traits, and tend to reproduce more successfully than other organisms’. One best example is the extinction of other animals and some with the same species retains.</span></span>
