  The astenosphere plays a key role in the plate tectonics theory because it is the one that provides the high temperatures, high pressure, and magma, that are the ones responsible for cracking up the crust on the surface.

  The astenosphere, with the ability to crack the crust on the surface of the planet is creating the continental and oceanic tectonic plates, and it also provides the push force from bellow so that they can move across the globe and thus be creating the landscape on the planet.

What is a biome? In a short paragraph of at least three or four sentences, explain how areas can be grouped together into biomes
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

A biome is an enormous ecosystem, spreading over a broad geographic range.

Explanation:

Biomes are classified here in such a form as to get into account their corresponding ranges and similar weather. All climate zones, though, come into one of three essential classifications: tropical and subtropical, temperate, and polar and subpolar.

The first of specific categories is a term covering the area along the equator, spreading north and south by approximately 30 degrees in either direction. In North U.S, this would involve southerly Florida, Texas, and Louisiana. Temperate areas spread from about 30 to 60 degrees on each side of the equator, thus leading in most of America. Ultimately, subpolar and polar regions lie among 60 degrees and the poles, which occur at 90 degrees.

Scientists believe that earth and the other plants formed
topjm [15]

The correct answer is - from solar nebula.

The Earth and the other planets in the Solar System are thought to have formed from solar nebula. This solar nebula is believed to have been a left over from the Sun's formation, being consisted of gas and dust in a disc-shape. The material in this disc-shaped gas and dust started to merge gradually, thus little by little forming bigger and bigger objects, and as the objects were getting bigger they had bigger gravitational pull so more and more material was attracted toward them. Because of the very big gravitational pull of the Sun these objects were not able to wander into the space but were instead kept close to the Sun. Because of the orbiting around the Sun, they all started to take a rounded shape. Some planets as the Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury became terrestrial planets, while the likes of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune became gas giants.
