No quite.... Homeostasis is the maintenance of constant internal environment
For example the constant internal temperature of our body is 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If our body increases or decreases some changes happens to your body in order to return the normal body temperature. If your freezing your blood vessels near the skin constricts so that the heat running through your blood doesnt leave your body because you are in need of heat.

Answer:

slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction

Explanation:

To understand better, let's consider an example. Make small pieces of paper and put them in a bowl containing water. Then heat the bowl. After sometime, you will see that the pieces are moving. This is because of same phenomenon (convection currents) forming inside the bowl of water. The water will warm move upward whereas colder water will come to its place. Convection currents in Earth are formed due to high temperature of magma (molten rock material) that rises up and colder magma takes its position.

This process results in slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction.

Slab pull: Slab pull is the force exerted by plates during subduction. Subduction is a process when a denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate. Thus slab pull is also caused by convenction currents.

Volcanic eruption: During subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate until it reaches magma. There, the lithosphere destroyes. On a weaker lithosphere zone, the magma moves upward and break the crust thus leading to volcanic eruptions.

Subduction: As mentioned above, during subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate which is driven by convectin currents.

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If this is true, why is there less

Thepotemich [5.8K]

That is because as energy is transferred at least 10% of that energy gets transferred to the next source. That is why.

It took me a bit too figure out and understand but yea, i did it last year now i get it!
