Answer: B.

The Moon's Mantle is too cold to move easily, and has no convection and no active tectonic plate motions, due to the Moon's smaller size and colder temperature than the Earth.

<u>Answer:</u>

The characteristic of plate tectonics is only true about the Earth and not the Moon.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The Moon is way too smaller than the Earth and has a comparatively cooler mantle.
  • The size of the Moon limits the possibility of the existence of tectonic plates. Moreover, a cooler mantle doesn't favour the generation of convection currents that are responsible for the tectonic activities.
  • The moonquakes (like that of earthquakes on Earth) are believed to be caused by the Earth's gravitational influence over the moon and the tidal activities on Earth, not by tectonic activities.

What civilization claimed Briton and, in doing so, introduced cities, roads, written scholarship, and Christianity?
Vinvika [58]

The correct answer is - The Roman civilization.

The Romans invaded Britain, even though it took them some time, gradually they managed to get under their control most of what is now England and Wales. With their arrival, the Romans brought lots of things from their society, including alphabet, thus reading and writing, they started to create cities with solid defense systems, and gradually were building roads in order to connect the cities they've built in order to enable better and quicker communication between them. Also, they introduced the Christianity in Britain. It is debatable about the exact time, there are some sources that claim that it was introduced as early as the 1st century AD, but officially it is considered that there was enough mass of people and preachers in period of the 3rd and 4th centuries so that it can be considered as a living, practiced, and prospering religion.
