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.

Put the following steps of bacterial specimen preparation and staining in order: a. fixation b. application of staining dyes c.
Inga [223]

Answer:

c. smear preparation

a. fixation

b. application of staining dyes

Explanation:

In the bacterial specimen preparation and staining order, the first step would be Smear preparation in which the smear of bacteria is formed on the slide.

Then the bacterial smear is heat-fixed so that the smear does not get washed off during the washing process in the staining procedure. After heat fixing the bacterial smear, the dyes are applied to the bacterial smear to stain the bacterial cells.  

Therefore the correct order is-

c. smear preparation

a. fixation

b. application of staining dyes

Can ground tissue do photosynthesis
Damm [24]

The major cells of the ground tissue are parenchyma cells, which function in photosynthesis and nutrient storage. They have thin walls, many chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles, and they form the mass of most leaves, stems, and roots. Another cell of the ground substance is the sclerenchyma cell.

Hope that helped! sorry if its wrong

Beginning in the mid 1600’s Earth entered into a mini-ice age
crimeas [40]
Beginning in the mid 1600's Earth entered into a mini-ice age. 1815 was known as the "year without a summer" and snow fell in many European countries during the summer months. The prolonged climate change is attributed to low sun spot activity, while the summer snow is believed to be the result of

A major volcanic eruption.

Which have scientists learned from studying seismic waves that travel through earth’s interior?
DENIUS [597]
<span><span>D. They have learned the precise depths where the boundaries between the earth's layers are located.</span>

The overwhelming amount of seismic activity particularly happens along convergent plate boundaries. In particular, reverse or thrust faults occurs on convergent plate boundaries.Converging plate boundaries are classified into two types of activities.First is the subduction boundary where the oceanic lithosphere is pressured beneath a continental plate or oceanic plate thus it overrides the other plate then slowly directed to the mantle where it will become a magma. Second is the collisional boundary where earthquakes occur because of the continental crust squeezed together then plates are pushed upwards.Reverse faults are correlated to earthquakes with magnitude of 8 or more.Hence, earthquakes of magnitude 8 or more are considered powerful and mega thrust earthquakes.</span>
