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.

Answer:
1) USING GAS IN THE HOME
2) USE IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
3) TRANSPORTATION
Explanation:
Aside from electricity, the residential sector of society uses natural gas to heat up buildings, water, cook meals, and dry clothing. Pretty much anything that needs to be done in the home or commercial building that involves heat, is able to get done thanks to the production of natural gas.
Antifreeze
, Plastics, Pharmaceuticals, Fabrics, Ammonia, Methanol
, Ethane, Propane
According to studies, vehicles that utilized natural gasses emitted 60-90 percent less smog-producing pollutants and 30-40 percent less in greenhouse gas emissions. Also, with its production and distribution within the United States, the cost for its use in transportation vehicles is substantially less than the gas that is imported from other nations.

Answered
Explanation:
(i) 1 Astronomical Unit (A.U.) = 1.496 x 10^8 Km.
Therefore, distance of Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU = 71 x 1.496 x 10^8 = 1.062 x 10^10 Km.
(ii) The nearest star to Earth than sun is the Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. The Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away from Earth.
As, 1 Light year = 63241.1 AU
The distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth = 4.22 x 63241.1 AU = 266877.3 AU
The distance of the Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU
The number of times the distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth is greater than that of Voyager I is = 266877.3 / 71
= 3758.835 times.
(iii) Speed of light is 1.079 x 10^9 Km/hr
Light travels 1.079 x 10^9 km in 1 hr
Therefore, 1. 062 x 10^10 Km is traveled by light in = (1.062 x 10^10) / (1.079 x 10^9) hr = 9.84 hours
That means when Voyager I was 71 AU from Earth, a observational data from Voyager I at the speed of light took 9.84 hours to reach Earth.
