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

Ridge push or sliding plate force is a proposed driving force for plate motion in plate tectonics that occurs at mid-ocean ridges as the result of the rigid lithosphere sliding down the hot, raised asthenosphere below mid-ocean ridges.The name comes from earlier models of plate tectonics in which ridge push was primarily ascribed to upwelling magma at mid-ocean ridges pushing or wedging the plates apart.

tangare [24]

Answer:

(B) Lava has separated the population into two areas: an upland forest and a lowland marsh.

Explanation:

In allopatric speciation, individuals of an ancestral species may undergo evolution into two or more progeny species which arises when physical separation causes a geographic boundary, this barrier can be in the form of a mountain range, rockslide, river or lava.

As in this scenario, a lava flow divides the populations of annual herbaceous plants by altering the landscape. This will cause genetic divergence with varying heritable features among its many generations favouring different traits in the separate environment along with genetic drift. The Lava will separates the population into two areas: an upland forest and a lowland marsh.
