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.

A Small World<br> How is the world connected through ‘Travel’ and ‘Communications’. Give examples
laila [671]

Answer:

The word is connected through travel because It connects different cultures and people with different ideas. Such as when an American person goes to India and is inspired to learn more about indian cultures and ways of life. This leads on to communication because that same American needs to communicate with people in India to learn more about their culture

Explanation:

Travel and communication is connected through culture and ideas. If there was no communication then an idea would not be able to spread. If there was no travel then culture would not be able to be spread.

Which is the most ethical response if an experiment fails to confirm a hypothesis?
miv72 [106K]
In this circumstance one should revise the hypothesis and develop a new experiment to test it.An example could be the theory of Agraham Gottloeb Werner that all rocks were precipitated from water including not just sedimentary rocks but also volcanic, plutonic and metamorphic rocks. The more the earth was studied, especially by James Hutton in Scotland, the more it became obvious that granites for example were deposited in a molten state, thus disproving that hypothesis or theory.

Latin Americans have created different elevation zones to describe the climates that they live in. Which of the following patter
Paul [167]

Answer:

D. tierra caliente, tierra templada, tierra fria, tierra helada.

Explanation:

The Latin American region has its own unique names for the elevation zones based on the climate. The lowest of them is the tierra caliente, characterized with lowlands and hills covered with dense tropical forests, and hot weather. The tierra caliente is the second, located between 1,000 and 2,000 meters, being still part of the tropical climate, but being cooler and more pleasant, which is why there are lot of big cities on this elevation. The tierra fria is located further up, up to 3,000 meters, and it is colder, dominated with grasslands, and the living conditions are not the best. The top elevation zone is the tierra helada, located in the highest parts of the Andes, being dominated by barren mountain slopes, strong winds, and cold climate.
