The lithosphere a combination of the crust and the uppermost brittle layer of the mantle is divided into tectonic plates, including the seven major tectonic plates.
Answer:
Explanation:
As plates move apart at the divergent plate boundary the release of pressure produces partial melting of the underlying mantle. This molten material, known as magma, is basaltic in composition and is buoyant. As a result, it wells up from below and cools close to the surface to generate new crust
A. False. It is also made up of Gutenberg discontinuity,Mohorovicic Discontinuity,Hydrosphere & many othersPS: The crust is also called Lithosphere.
B. True. Metamorphic rocks are created by the physical or chemical alteration by heat and pressure of an existing igneous or sedimentary material into a denser form
C. True.
D. True. Formed by crystallizing melted material (magma)
E. True.

Answer:
Kilimanjaro
Explanation:
The name of Africa's tallest peak (19,341 feet above sea level) comes from two local languages: Swahili and Chagga. When combined, the words translate to "Shining Mountain" or "White Mountain." Alternate names given to Kilimanjaro throughout history translate to "Mountain Where Birds Cannot Fly" and "Mountain of Silver Moons." The Chagga people believe that a spirit lives atop the peak and will cause sickness to some who climb. Anthropologists think this is likely their method for explaining altitude sickness, caused by attempting to climb Kilimanjaro too quickly.
