Answer choices are:

A. Slab pull and crust conversion

B. Plate movement and convection currents

C. Connection and convection

D. Ridge push and slab pull

____________________________________________________________

Correct answer choice is:

D. Ridge push and slab pull

Explanation:

Ridge Push: The process that occurs when magma arises at a mid-ocean ridge and drives oceanic plates in two separate ways apart from the ridge.

Slab pull: The process that occurs if a thick oceanic plate settles underneath a more resilient plate with a subduction zone, drawing the excess of the plate that pursues following it.

A thermocline is a layer of water at the ocean surface that prevents the upwelling and mixing of cool nutrient-rich water to oce

Answer:

d. Temperate regions have weak thermoclines (moderate in summer, less in winter)

Explanation:

The theromoclines and how strong they are are crucial for the movement and exchange of nutrients between the surface waters and the deeper waters. The nutrients are mostly found in the deeper and colder waters, so they only reach the surface and shallower waters when the thermoclines are weaker. With the movement of the nutrients toward the surface waters, they provide nutrition for the marine organisms, resulting in much larger populations and much more species to be present. The temperate regions are the ones where the theromoclines start to become weaker because the waters become cooler, especially in the winter when the temperatures are much lower and the waters become colder as well.

Using volcanoes as an example, explain how different earth systems can interact

Jobisdone [24]

Volcanoes can release an amount of matter into the atmosphere. The particles will serve as nuclei to help form the water droplets. Following an eruption is usually a heavy rainfall that will encourage plant growth.
