Older oceanic crust, which is more dense than continental crust, has long since been recycled in the process of subduction. Credit: U.S. Geological Survey. Plate tectonics shapes the surface of our planet, but it also runs much deeper: Plate movement is the surface expression of convection in Earth's interior.

Answer:

The tectonic plates appeared when the earth began to cool, where the water flooded the earth. The earth that was submerged originated the tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Plate tectonics are large semirigid rock blocks that make up the earth's crust. The Earth is divided into fourteen main tectonic plates, which move slowly and continuously over the mantle, and can approach or move away from each other.  The movement of the plates results in the formation of mountains, oceanic pits, volcanic activities, earthquakes and tsunamis.

The formation of tectonic plates was a result of the cooling and flooding of the earth. When the earth began to cool, where water flooded the earth. The submerged earth originated the tectonic plates.

In science why is it important to have more than one piece of evidence to support your claim?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

It is important to have more than one piece of evidence to make sure that the evidence is actually evidence. Or in other words, that the evidence is proven true. With only one piece of evidence, you can't be fully sure if calculations were correct, if the source was trustworthy, etc.

Multiple evidence is kinda like double checking math problems. If you don't do it, you can't be 100% certain the answer is correct.

Which type of epithelium is composed of multiple layers, including an apical layer containing tall, slender cells?
Mademuasel [1]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • Simple squamous
  • Simple columnar
  • Pseudostratified squamous
  • Stratified squamous
  • Stratified columnar

Answer:

Stratified columnar

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue is the tissue formed by the cells which form a layer of cell and lines the lumen of the organ and also covers the organs. The epithelial tissue can be classified based on the number of layer and shape of the cell.

In the given question, the shape of the cell is slender and are tall therefore are called columnar. The cells form more than one layer or multiple layers therefore form stratified layers.

Therefore,  the epithelial tissue formed by these slender shaped multiple layers is known as the stratified columnar layer. The stratified columnar is present in the respiratory tract and the digestive tract.

Thus,  Stratified columnar is the correct answer.
