Answer:

<em>Mantle convective current</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The North American Plate is a tectonic plate that covers most of North America, Greenland, Cuba, the Bahamas, extreme northeastern Asia, and parts of Iceland and the Azores. It is Earth's second largest tectonic plate, behind the Pacific Plate. It is thought to be moved by the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.

You have a circle with a diameter of 24 divided into 16 sections what is the size of each section
ziro4ka [17]
The circle with diameter of 24 means that 2\pir = 24. 

Solving for r, we get \pir=24. 

Dividing both sides by \pi, we get r=24/\pi.

The area of the full circle is \pi times 24 squared over \pi ^{2}. The \pi being multiplied cancels out, meaning that 24 squared over \pi is the area of the full circle. 24 squared is 576, and dividing by 16 we get \frac{36}{\pi} as the answer.
