Describe 3 possible driving forces of plate movement

Biology
2 answers:
galina1969 [7]4 years ago

Four possible driving forces of plate movement are:

  1. Convection currents: convection currents in the Earth’s mantle drag and move the plates.
  2. Magma injection: the injection of magma pushes plates apart.
  3. Continental drift: the plates above a spreading centre cool, become denser, and move away under the force of gravity.
  4. Descending plates: cold, dense plates descend into the mantle and pull the rest of the plate with them.

If the osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmHg to 35 mmHg due to dehydration, would net filtration
allsm [11]

Answer:

Net filtration would decrease.

Explanation:

Net filtration pressure may be defined as the pressure present at the glomerulus. The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure existing at the kidney.

The net filtration pressure is affected by the osmotic pressure as well. The osmotic pressure always opposed the filtration. This might result in the increase in osmotic pressure. This will ultimately decrease the net filtration pressure as both oppose each other.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
