How are convection current in the mantle and in the oceans similar? How are they different?

Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago

Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

What is plant "blinking"? Why do plants do this?
Likurg_2 [28]

BLINK protein speeds up stomatal movements in response to light fluctuations resulting in improved plant growth and water use.

Plants can't move, so their “blinking” helps protect them from burning or bleaching when they are in bright sun.

I'm not sure if the first part is right, but I do know the second part is.

A food handler who fails to report illness to the person in charge could cause a physical contamination?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Physical contamination are foreign objects such as hair, fingernails, broken glasses , jewelries etc that are mixed with food. Although, it is important for a food handler who realizes that he is sick such as having fever, jaundice,wound while working to report such to his supervisor or manager,who will then take necessary action and to avoid risk of contamination; yet not the only cause of physical food contamination.

Physical contamination does not necessarily have to occur until the food handler is sick. It could be as a result of carelessness or not paying attention enough by the food handler . Physical contamination might not at all times cause injury or illness to the customer, yet such could bring discomfort to a customer who notices foreign objects in his food while eating. To avoid risk of physical food contamination, it is important for food handlers to keep jewelries to a minimum, wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly, wear hear neatly tied back, throw out and replace cracked, chipped, or broken dishware, glassware and equipment amongst others.
