The answer is lithosphere,which is the outermost shell of the Earth, where we're living on and composed of mainly of rocks, and will extend due to the convection movement of magma.

Let's look into the other answers:

Outer core: It is the second deepest layer in Earth, it is not visible for us. It is consisted of molten rock materials with high density. As the temperature is very high (4400-6100°c) the mantle cannot be cooled down to form plate material. Therefore thos answer is incorrect.

Lower mantle: Lower mantle is under the lithosphere and is solid however can flow freely. It is not directly involved in the extension of plate boundaries and is therefore false.

Asthenosphere: It is a layer of molten magma which is indirectly responsible for the plate movement by causing the convection current of magma plate . However this is not exactly where the plate boudaries take place and therefore is not the answer.

How lithosphere is involved in plate boundaries extention: Given the rising convection current of magma, the crust move apart and leave cracks whoch are then filled by magma. As magma cools down,new plates material is cooled down to form new crust. Under ridge push and slab pull, the plate materials is extended.

Where could convection currents form? check all that apply.in a sand dune in a freshwater lakein the atmospherein outer spacein

babunello [35]

Convection currents form in atmosphere and freshwater lake. Convection currents occur when there is difference in temperature in both substances (eg. fluids). When there is a difference in temperature, the hot substance rises and the colder one sinks. The flow then will be form a hotter to the colder region.

3 difference between pastoral and arable farming

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Pastoral farming is aimed at producing livestock, rather than growing crops. Examples include dairy farming, raising beef cattle, and raising sheep for wool. In contrast, arable farming concentrates on crops rather than livestock.

Sam is rowing a boat away from a dock. the graph shows the relationship between time and Sam's distance from the dock. evaluate

LiRa [457]

Answer:

D. after 3 minutes, Sam is 40 meters from the dock.

Explanation:

For an input of 3, the function will produce a value of 40. That is in 3 minutes, the boat would have covered a distance of 40meters.

We can solve this problem using the given graph.

We know that this is a distance - time graph. The slope of this graph gives the value of the speed of the boat.

From the time - axis, mark point 3 which corresponds to the input given.
Trace it up to the point where it coincides with the graph.
Then find the distance axis value of the point.
Doing this yield 40m

So, in 3 minutes, Sam will row a distance of 40m.
