Earth's crust are pushing against each other miles below the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, volcanoes and the movement of the continents. Approximately 30 plates are mapped out throughout the world. The plates consist of the Earth's crust and of the mantle, which is a thick layer of hot rock. Below that lies a sea of magma.
Hope this helps
Listening to Earth is an article about the study of the plate boundaries using hydrophones which make noises and different sounds.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Listening to Earth is an article which was written about the studying of the plate boundaries by Dziak and his team. Since it is tough to send people to the bottom surface of the ocean, they made use of hydrophones making them listen to various sounds.
These sounds are made by the movement and the motions of the plate boundaries from their original position which many a times lead to the earthquakes.
Answer:
The presence of an additional chromosome
Explanation:
Look at "pair" 21. See how there are THREE chromosomes instead of TWO? Normally, there would only be two chromosomes in each pair but this karyotype shows a trisomy (see def. below) of the 21st pair. This was caused by a nondisjunction mutation of the 21st pair. The is also the karyotype of a person with Down's Syndrome.
Definition of Trisomy:
A condition of the presence of three chromosomes in a pair instead of two. This normally causes developmental irregularity.
