Answer:

The answer is E.) Lithosphere, Asthenosphere.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates belong to the layer called Lithosphere. The tectonic plates float on the Asthenosphere which is below the Lithosphere and more fluid than the crust.

From the Earth's surface to the its center we can say that the inside of the Earth is divided into four layers which, starting from the top , are:

i) the crust

ii) the mantle, (Lithosphere, Asthenosphere , Mesosphere)

iii) the outer core

iv) the inner core.

The tectonic plates are part of the Lithosphere and are constantly moving even though the crust is fairly solid. This is because the inner layers

( Asthenosphere , Mesosphere) are much are fluid and are constantly moving which tends to move the tectonic plates. When the tectonic plates collide they do so with tremendous force which leads to earthquakes and sometimes tsunamis as well resulting in a loss of life and property.

HELP ME PLEASE! List the steps scientists for using technology to find the half-life of an isotope.​
liubo4ka [24]

For radioactive materials with short half-lives, you use a very sensitive calibrated detector to measure how many counts per second it is producing. Then using the exact same set up you do the same at a latter time. You use the two readings and the time between them to determine the half-life. You don’t have to wait exactly a half-life, you can do the math with any significant time difference. Also, you don’t need to know the absolute radioactivity, as long as the set up is the same you only need to know fraction by which it changed.

For radioactive materials with long half-lives that won’t work. Instead you approach the problem differently. You precisely measure the mass of a very pure sample of the radioactive material. You can use that to calculate the number of atoms in the sample. Then you put the sample in a counter that is calibrated to determine the absolute number of disintegrations happening in a given time. Now you know how many of them are disintegrating every second. You use the following equations:

Decays per Second = (Number of Atoms) x (Decay Constant)

Half-life = (Natural Log of 2) / (Decay Constant)

And you can calculate the half-life

Hope it helps :)

Why are the daughter cells resulting from mitosis genitically identical
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The cells are identical because the DNA is copied during the S phase before cell division and then each resulting cell gets a matching copy of the chromosomes.
