Hi there!

The seafloor spreading is when the mantle is rising and breaking the crust causing the seafloor to spread open. Continental Drift is the gradual movement of the continents across the earth's surface through geological time. Induction is the process or action of bringing about or giving rise to something. Subduction the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.

Thus makes Subduction your answer:)

Compare<br> and contrast ridge push and slab<br> pull.
suter [353]
Ridge push is a process in which the unlifted ridge is thought to push the oceanic plate towards the subduction zone. Slab pull is a process where by the weight of a subducting plate help to pull the trailing lithosphere into subduction zone. Ridge lush is cause by the potential energy gradient from the high topography. Slab pull is caused by negative buoyancy of the subducting plate.

What are two quantities In a proportional relationship AND what is a proportional relationship?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Do you have a friend that can affect your mood? Whenever she's up, you're up. When she's down, you're down. A proportional relationship between quantities is a lot like that. For example, imagine a beehive that has a lot of bees in it. Each of those bees has six legs. If I take away half the bees, there will only be half as many legs left in the hive as well. There is a proportional relationship between the number of bees and the number of bee legs in that hive.

A proportional relationship exists between two values x and y when they can be expressed in the general form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Our beehive example could be represented by y = 6x, where x is the number of bees, y is the number of legs, and k is 6 (since each bee has 6 legs). If I double x, then y will also double, and if I divide y by x, then y/x should always be 6.

Another way to say that is if two values are proportional, then dividing them by each other will always produce the same ratio. This ratio will be the constant k, which can be expressed as a fraction or a decimal.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)!

If a slowly running stream in the hydrosphere runs down off a mountain and passes over a plain, which of the following shows how
algol [13]
I would put option A. 

The question says how the surface MIGHT change over a long period of time so that's why I wouldn't say option C, and that's how canyons are formed if I'm not mistaken. 

I hope this helps. My apologies if I'm wrong.

When water intake is low, spinal cells in the brain signal the pituitary to release _______.?
AysviL [449]
When water intake is low, spinal cells in the brain signal the pituitary to release ADH or antidiuretic hormone. The main function of ADH is increasing the urine concentration and thereby it helps in preserving the amount of body water lost in case of low water consumption by an individual. I hope the answer comes to your help.
