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.

Iven the equation representing a nuclear reaction in which x represents a nuclide: which nuclide is represented by x?
kaheart [24]

The nuclide represented as X is thorium and this is an alpha decay where an alpha particle is removed off.

<h3>What is nuclide?</h3>

A kind of atom or nucleus which is represented by a specific number of protons and neutrons.

The equation given represents an alpha decay. In an alpha decay, an alpha particle is removed off.

The atomic number of the parent nuclide is more than the daughter nuclide by two units and the mass number of the parent is more than that of the daughter nuclide by four units.

Thus, the x is thorium.

After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed. can you match the parts of the ovule with the corresponding parts of the se
Goshia [24]
After fertilization of the ovule, the megaspore develops into the food supply of the mature seed.
After fertilization of the ovule, the <em />integument develops into the seed coat.
After fertilization of the ovule, the fertilized egg develops into the embryo of the mature seed. 

The ovule contains the female reproductive cells of the seed plants and when fertilized, it produces the seed. Ovules contain megasporocytes, cells that produce megaspores through cell division. An integument is a layer that protects and surrounds the ovule. After fertilization, the integument protects and surrounds the seed. After fertilization, the ovule contains a diploid zygote which develops into an embryo.
