ANSER TO #11 Large convection currents in the aesthenosphere transfer heat to the surface, where plumes of less dense magma break apart the plates at the spreading centers, creating divergent plate boundaries.
As the plates move away from the spreading centers, they cool, and the higher density basalt rocks that make up ocean crust get consumed at the ocean trenches/subduction zones. The crust is recycled back into the aesthenosphere.Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere.
The aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the Earth that extends to 2900 km. It contrasts with the more rigid lithosphere, the outer shell of the Earth (0 ~ 70 km) that contains the continental crust (made up of less dense granitic rocks) and the oceanic crust (more dense basaltic rocks) that are broken up into more than a dozen rigid plates.

Hi there!
I think populations' safety living near nuclear power plants are compromised. If there were a leak, the poison would have a greater potential to kill people living close to the source than farther away.
I think people should be taught and obtain an escape procedure in the event of a nuclear leak emergency. When a leak near them occurs, it is more likely that they can escape faster.
Hope this helps!
The adaptation of thinner fur will be selected and the population will evolve
The answer would be B) False cause a line graph only shows ''two'' variables, not three.
