<h3>Answer;</h3>

Plate tectonics theory

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

According to the plate tectonics theory, the plates making the earth float on the partially molten mantle, moving away from the mid ocean ridges at varying speeds. At a point where the plates pull apart, slide or collide, a tectonic activity will be manifested as earthquakes.
Earthquakes take place when the plate boundaries get stuck together while the plates keep moving. Volcanoes on the other hand take place when plates crash into or pull away from each other and hot magma from below rises up to the surface in an eruption.

I think the answer is plate tectonics theory because when the are moving, they sometimes hit each other and it makes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

But i'm not sure

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity $e$ of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

$e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}$

Where:

$r_{a}$ is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

$r_{p}=0.27 r_{a}$ is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

$e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}$

$e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}$

$e=0.57$ This is the moon's orbital eccentricity

Which of the following would decrease your carbon footprint?

salantis [7]

The third option seems correct. Using any bag more than once will help in decreasing the carbon foot print.

This isds beause, if you use paper bag once only, then paper bag is being utilised and more and more paper is being used. So the best way is to use the bag more than once, whichever bag u are using.

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is 1331 cm³. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]
