Answer:
C. When the oceanic lithosphere, which is more dense, sinks and pulls the plate with it
Explanation:
Slab pull and other mechanisms are responsible for the motion of plates. Every tectonic plate is driven by mantle convection.
- Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids.
- It is as a result of differences in density and temperature values.
- The oceanic crust is denser and colder.
- As hot magma from deep within the subsurface rises and move through cracks, the oceanic lithosphere is drawn down and deeper.
- This cycling between the cold lithosphere and hot rising plumes provides the mechanism that drives plate motion.
Options A and D are true. The other two options are absurd and not even based on fact while A & D are true concerning this part of Africa at that time.
Answer:
No,
Explanation:
It is rising due to global warming and iceburgs melting
It could collapse. Just like Hawaii islands. That sink about 2.8 inches every 3 months
