Answer:

c. Adaptive radiation occurs in the presence of competitors.

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation is a process of diversification in which  new species are originated from an ancestral species due to changes in the enviroment or deu to pressures such as competition for resources that lead organisms to find new niches. For example, if there are many competitors for the same food source, that pressure could lead some organisms to look for a new food source, that, in turn, can lead to the adaptation of their body to the new food source. For example, bird beaks that were specialized for seeds can be adapted for insects.

Which statement explains how convection currents affect the movement of plates? Gravity pulls one edge of a plate down into the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Convection currents direct the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle.

In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading.

So, I would say the answer is:

As convection currents drift across the oceans,

they bring the pieces of Earth's crust with them as the supercontinent breaks apart.

Glad I could help, hv a good day :)
