The Earth's outer crust (the lithosphere) is composed of a series of tectonic plates that move on a hot flowing mantle layer called the asthenosphere. Heat within the asthenosphere creates convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move several centimeters per year relative to each other.
Telecommuting can also be referred to as work form home or remote work. It is the kind of work that doesn't require employees to travel or commute by train or bus to a central work-space such as an office. With advent of technology and internet, employees can do work remotely by the use of their mobile phones, land lines laptops and computers. Telecommuting overtime have been seen to improve employee's quality of life because of reduced commuting; frequent travels and traffic jams can impact health as a result of stress. This also reduce air pollution and congestion caused by cars.
