Answer:

tectonic plates

Explanation:

    The earth's crust - the outermost layer of planet Earth, formed by rocks - is subdivided into several “pieces”, which, despite being separate, are always in contact with each other. The set of these pieces is called tectonic plates.

    Tectonism - also known as the movement of plate tectonics - has transformations that can be directly perceived by people on the earth's surface, such as earthquakes, the movement of continents, the formation of volcanoes and also the appearance of mountains.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The layer of greenhouse gases is permeable to one side and not permeable to another side.

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases such as carbondioxide, methane and water vapors etc formed a layer which allow the sun radiation to the earth surface but when these radiation reflected back, this layer traps these reflected radiation and the radiation remain suspended in air which heat up the particles present in the air and increases the temperature which causes global warming of earth surface. This phenomenon is also called greenhouse effect and it is also very useful in growing crops in cool seasons. So this layer is permeable from one side and not permeable from another side.
