Answer:

The earth's crust is comprised of lithospheric plates and they are divided into the continental crust (plates) and the oceanic crust (plates). These plates are constantly in motion over the Asthenosphere layer. This motion takes place due to the convection current that initiates in the mantle. This initiation of convection current is because of the heat radiated from the core of the earth. This plate motion takes place in three different ways, such as-

(a) Divergent plate motion

(b) Convergent plate motion

(c) Transform plate motion

In a divergent plate motion, the two plates move in the opposite direction. As a result of which the hot, less dense magma rises up and comes out towards the surface. This magma originates from the deeper mantle due to the convection current.

Hence, the convection current is the main mechanism behind the plate motion.

Human migration is the movement of people from one place to another with the intention of settling in the new location. When large numbers of people relocate, historians ask questions about why these people moved and what impacts their movements had.

How does the environment affect genetic factors and gene expression?
Leno4ka [110]

The gene expression of the organism may be affected by the environment. This includes the outside ecosphere where the entire creature and organism are situated or progresses, and also as the organism's interior ecosphere, these consist of the aspects of metabolism and hormones. Even though the structure of genes is unaffected by the environment, the gene expression (how the genes work) will be affected. Factors in the environment like drugs, foods, and toxins may result in some epigenetic changes by changing how the DNA bind by the molecules and the structure change of the proteins that the DNA wraps.

Which number line shows the solution to n &gt; -2​
Margarita [4]

To graph this inequality, start with an open dot on -2.

We use an open dot because n is

greater than -2 but n is not equal to -2.

Next we draw an arrow to the right

to represent all numbers greater than -2.

I have graphed this inequality below too.

The graph below is my own work.

This should correspond to the first answer choice.
