Answer:

D: texture

Explanation:

Depending on the size of the mineral grains that make the various types of igneous rocks, the igneous rocks can have fine or coarse texture.

The fine-grained igneous rocks have too small crystals of the minerals to be seen with unaided eyes. These rocks are formed by the rapid cooling of lava at the surface of the earth.

On the other hand, the coarse-grained igneous rocks have large crystals of minerals and are formed by slow cooling of magma.

Aphanitic igneous rocks such as basalt are fine-grained. Glassy igneous rocks do not have crystals and are formed by the rapid cooling of lava. Pegmatitic and porphyritic textures of igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of magma.

What is the driving force for the movement of lithospheric plates ?
Pavlova-9 [17]
The driving force for the movement of lithosphere plates is convection currents. These currents are found in the inner core of the earth and take the heat from the core to the lithosphere. Tectonic plates are able to move because of the relative density of oceanic lithosphere and the relative weakness of the asthenosphere. Dissipation of heat from the mantle is acknowledged to be the original source of energy driving plate tectonics. The current view, although it is still a matter of some debate, is that excess density of the oceanic lithosphere sinking in subduction zones is the most powerful source of plate motion.

First eliminate choices C and D since they both mention that fact 1 is crossing over ( which is also referred to as genetic recombination) . So you're left with A and B and the correct answer is B .
