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.

Matching questions match each description with the appropriate phase of mitosis:
strojnjashka [21]
Hello!!
A: Anaphase — 1 chromatids move towards opposite poles. I always remember that “Ana” moves to different places on the sides of town. This is where the chromatids begin to move.
B: Telophase — 4 Cytokinesis may occur. Cytokinesis is the last and final step. The sister chromatids finish moving towards the poles and then cytokinesis occurs.
C: Metaphase — 3 Chromatids line up in the middle of the cell. I always remember since they line up in the middle, they “met” there.
D: Prophase — 2 and 5 Disintegration of the nuclear membrane and the spindle forms. Both of these have to happen first in order for the rest of the processes to occur.
**The order of mitosis goes prophase, prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis.**
For the bottom:
A: Algae 6 and 10. Both diatoms and kelps (plant related) are a part of the Algae general type.
B: Fungi 7 and 9. Deuteromycetes and Ascomycetes.
C: Protozoa 8. It is ciliates because they are a major group of Protozoa from cilia.
I hope I helped!! Have a great day!! :)

What is the difference between plant and animal cells
mario62 [17]
On the structural difference, as basic animal cell has a nucleus , which contains genetic materials, a cytoplasm, which allows chemical reaction to occur, and a cell membrane, which can control which substance to go in or out from the cell.
meanwhile in plant cells, apart from all the same structures found in animal cells, it also has a vacuole, which contains dissolved substance, some chloroplasts, which is for photosynthesis, and also a cell wall too outside the cell membrane which can protect the plant cell from bursting

Harman [31]

Answer: Thymus gland

Explanation:

The thymus gland is an endocrine gland that is located in the upper part of the human chest. It is responsible for producing white blood cells. This gland is located near the airway. The enlargement of the thymus gland can suppress the nearby structures. This may result in shortness of breath, and cough along with sputum. The thymus gland produces several endocrine hormones like thymopoietin and thymulin.

The given condition is indicative of the mass of the thymus gland.
