The hotspots are regions, where the plumes of magma are present just below the lithosphere. The plume of the magma is the particles of the volcano and the gases, which is erupted during the volcanic eruption. It is generated by the fragmentation of the magma. Once, it reaches the lithosphere, it get spreaded laterally.

The plumes at the hotspots are present just below the tectonic plates, a high temperature r heat and the low pressure causes the rocks present in the lithosphere to melt resulting in volcanic eruption. At hotspot, the melting of rock takes time, sometimes it is very slow, due to the presence of various tectonic plates. Hence, the plumes can remain stationary for a very long period of time without erupting.

So, the first blank can be filled with Lithosphere and the second blank can be filled with Stationary.

It is winter where Jenna lives. It’s been snowing all day, but now the snow has changed to sleet and then to freezing rain. What
DedPeter [7]
The cause behind these changes is the that the temperature is changing while it is raining, so when it drops to 32 degrees F or below, it is snow. At 32 degrees F, it is sleet, and at higher than 32 degrees, it is going to be freezing rain.

Maxwell is eating a plain chicken breast. Which enzyme is doing the most work? amylase proteases lipases lactase
rjkz [21]
Protease enzymes are doing most of the work during the process of Maxwell's digestion. These enzymes breakdown peptide bonds of proteins which make food digestible. Chicken breasts mostly contain protein nutrients that are broken down by the enzyme and then absorbed well within the body hours after the intake.
