The continents are not drifting, exactly. They are physically attached to the tectonic plates, which are basically enormous slabs of rock that are stacked on top of each other. The tectonic plates cause the continents to move in a process known as plate tectonics, also causing earthquakes, sink holes, and a number of other natural disasters. I think the best way to make a visualization of this is making a plate of pancakes, and stacking them while only half of each pancake is on top of the previous one, and as it goes up, it becomes more steep, until the point where they fall over.

Weight gain is _____ correlated with hours of sleep each night, and _____ correlated with hours of "screen time" each day.

PolarNik [594]

Weight gain is inversely proportional/ negatively correlated with the hours of sleep each night, and is directly proportional/ positively correlated with the hours of "screen time" each day.

According to Susan Zafarlotfi, PhD, clinical director of the Institute for Sleep and Wake Disorders at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, sleep deprivation (lack of sleep) can increase a person's tendency to seek for junk foods and comfort foods and can cause a person's metabolism to function improperly. However, studies also show that getting more than the necessary amount of sleep does nothing to help a person's weight loss journey either (source: https://www.nhs.uk/news/obesity/sleep-affects-weight-loss/). So, although weight gain and sleep are negatively correlated, there must be a limit to this, as getting too much sleep does nothing to help with one's metabolism and body functions either.

Screen time refers to the time a person spends using a device such as a computer, television, games console, etc. Studies have shown that the more screen time a person has, the greater the possibility of him/her gaining weight because it makes it easier for a person to (mindlessly/absentmindedly) snack and decreases a person's physical activity (exercise). Depending on a person's metabolism, absentmindedly snacking and lack of physical activity are definitely factors which can bring about weight gain.
