The convection currents create the tectonic plate and their movement, while the sinking crust is helping the process of the convection currents.

Explanation:

The convection currents are currents in the mantle layer. They manage to create lot of pressure on the crust above them, thus managed to crack it in numerous tectonic plates. With the convection currents, there is constant creation of new crust on the surface through the magma and lava flows, but also constant destruction of crust.

The newly formed crust pushes the old crust sideways. Gradually, that crust reaches a plate boundary where it subducts. As the crust subducts, its gets into the mantle. The more dense and cooler crust falls deeper into the mantle, and as ti gets heated it starts to move up again, thus the convection currents are formed.

This process has managed to create lot of tectonic plate, such as:

  • North American
  • Eurasia
  • Pacific
  • African
  • Nazca
  • Indo-Australian etc.

yarga [219]

Answer:

Pay attention to fallen power lines and trees, broken sewerage and water pipes, loose roof sheets and other debris.

To follow the instructions we can minimize the cyclone effect:

Turn off all power, gas and water;  

Unplug all electrical equipment.

Keep close to your emergency kit.

Bring your family into the house's strongest place.

Continue listening for cyclone updates to the radio.

Beware of the cyclone's calm eye: remain inside until it tells you that going outside is secure.

Agriculture has no impact on the levels of organic content in soil because organic matter is plowed back into the soil every yea
VashaNatasha [74]
<span>False, Agriculture greatly alters the composition of the organic content of the soil. The soil nutrients completely depend on the crop that has been grown in this location the prior several growing seasons. Many crops use high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus and therefore leave the soil lacking these nutrients. Reworking the left over material into the soil after the crops helps a little but crop cycling is required to really replenish the soil. This would mean planting crops the add nutrients back into the soil such as legumes.</span>
