Answer:
d) The lithosphere is broken into sections called plates.
Explanation:
Plate tectonics is the movement of the lithosphere and is responsible for such phenomena as volcanoes and earthquakes. The lithosphere is the exterior layer of the earth about a hundred kilometers thick. This layer is broken into large sized plates, about seven medium plates and numerous smaller plates.
These plates move a couple of inches every year from each other and are the cause of volcanoes and earthquakes.
The sun appears to cross the plane of Earth's equator
when it reaches either one of the "equinox" points in the sky.
At those times, the lengths of day and night are nominally equal
everywhere (except at the poles), and the occasions are marked
as the beginning of Spring and Autumn.
