Convection in the mantle and pressure of magma on the edge of the plate

Explanation:

Convection currents occur in the mantle because the upper mantle (asthenosphere) is generally cooler than the lower mantle. The convections apply upward pressure on the lower edges on the lithosphere as the melted rocks upwell from below. The lithosphere deflects the convections  and as the convections churn clockwise of anticlockwise, they drag the lithosphere with it via friction. This is what is stipulated to cause tectonic plate movements.

FILL IN THE BLANK. conventional oil and gas occur in typical geologic traps near earth's surface within porous sedimentary rocks
Tpy6a [65]

Conventional oil and gas occur in typical geologic traps near the earth's surface within porous sedimentary rocks, whereas unconventional oil and gas occur in<u> shale</u> rock thousands of feet below the surface.

In the field of geography, such a kind of oil or gas that can be pulled from the ground through pumps is referred to as conventional oil and gas. On the other hand, such a kind of oil or gas that cannot be pulled by traditional methods and are difficult to be extracted is referred to as unconventional oil and gas.

Conventional oil and gas are easier to be pumped because they are extracted from sedimentary rocks that are porous and are present near the surface of the earth.

On the other hand, unconventional oil and gas are present in the shale rocks that are neither much porous and also are buried deep in the surface.

Which of the following is a property of honey as a liquid
liq [111]

Answer:

When bees produce honey, they start with a diluted solution (the nectar) and concentrate it, to make it last longer. They store it in the honeycombs of the beehive, where, were it not extracted by humans, it would probably remain liquid. So when it's extracted from the honeycombs, the honey is a very viscous liquid.
