Which of these statements is true about plate tectonics? Continental drift on the Earth is caused by circulating convection curr

ents in the deep interior. Continental drift on Earth is caused by the slow precession of Earth's spin axis. Tidal forces from the Moon and Sun causes the slow drift of continental land masses. Two crustal plate boundaries can easily slide past each other because of the presence of seawater. The Mid‑Atlantic Ridge is an area of continuous seafloor erosion which creates powerful earthquakes along a subterranean mountain chain.

Answer:

continental drift on the Earth is caused by circulating convection currents in the deep interior

Explanation:

The Tectonic plates make up the earth's crust and the movement of these tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust is due to the movement of the Magma of the earths crust that flows/moves in the form of convectional currents.

The earths crust acts as the heat insulator which when heated up due to internal pressures releases hot Magma flowing in the form of convectional currents apart from the convectional currents causing the plate tectonics to move other factors like ridge push and slab pull can also cause the plates to move as well.

Answer:

The answer is: Continental drift on the Earth is caused by circulating convection currents in the deep interior.

Explanation:

Numerous studies and observations have shown that plate tectonics is due to the circulatory motion of convection currents within the Earth’s mantle which is below the Earth’s crust, and is as deep as 2,890 km. The motion of the convection currents are propelled by heat which rises and transports gas, and liquids or molten substances, and causes the crust (landmass, and ocean floor) to move.

Stone tools are more commonly found on archaeological sites thought to be associated with?
Genrish500 [490]

Stone tools are more commonly found on archaeological sites thought to be associated with Homo habilis.

The ancient human species Homo habilis, also known as "handy man," lived in East and South Africa during the Early Pleistocene between 2.31 million and 1.65 million years ago (mya). When H. habilis was first described as a species in 1964, there was a lot of debate about it, and many scientists suggested that it be grouped with Australopithecus africanus—the only other early hominin species at the time—but as time went on and more significant discoveries were made, H. habilis gained more recognition. By the 1980s, it had been hypothesized that Homo habilis, which later gave rise to Homo erectus, was a direct ancestor of modern humans.

If a 100-year flood has recently occurred along a river, it is now less likely to experience a similar event in the near term.
Temka [501]

The statement is correct.

When a flood is giving a time-bonding term, such as the 100-year flood, in this statement, it means that it has been noticed that the floods from the particular river occur on approximately that much of a time span.

If there has been a flood recently, than it most probably means that there isn't going to be a flooding caused by that river for the foreseeable future.

Now, there's always exceptions, as the climate patters are changing constantly, and there's always surprises, but in general, in lot of regions of the world, there has been noticed a certain consistency in some natural occurrences.
