Answer:

The correct answer is B. Plate boundaries extend into the lithosphere.

Explanation:

A tectonic plate or lithospheric plate is a fragment of the lithosphere which results from its cutting in the manner of a puzzle by a system of faults, ridges, rifts and subduction trenches. The lithospheric plates move a few centimeters a year in different directions, resulting in the formation of areas of divergence, subduction, collision and sliding.

Plate tectonics is the theory that explains the structure and dynamics of the Earth's surface. It states that the lithosphere, the coldest, stiffest upper portion of the Earth, is fragmented into a series of plates moving over the Earth's mantle. This theory also describes the movement of the plates, their directions and interactions. The Earth's lithosphere is divided into 7 large plates and several smaller plates or microplates. At the edges of the plates seismic, volcanic and tectonic activity are concentrated. This results in the formation of large chains and basins.

Which of the following South American religions combines West African religions with Roman Catholicism?
shtirl [24]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Right off the bat we can eliminate Buddhism and Hinduism because they were created in Asia and are their own religious branches. They are not a combination of any two religions.

The three main branches of Christianity are Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodoxy. Eastern Orthodoxy is its own religious branch that was formed in around Southeastern Europe. Since Orthodoxy and Catholicism are two different branches of Christianity, they would not mix to create a new South African religion.

This leaves us with Macumba. I've never heard of it but we figured it out using process of elimination. And it sounds pretty African too so it makes sense!

Have a wonderful day! :D
