Answer;

-Crust and the upper most mantle

Explanation;

-The inside of the Earth is made up of three main layers, which are the crust, mantle and core. Compared to the mantle, the crust is very thin and brittle. The mantle is located below the crust and above the core of the Earth. The mantle layer of rock is approximately 2,900 kilometers thick.

-A tectonic plate (also called a lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock which move as cohesive, rigid bodies on the earth's surface. Tectonic plates have a large range of sizes and thicknesses.

-Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.

What is a coniferous tree?
JulijaS [17]

The main aspect used to differ coniferous tree are their leaves. Coniferous leaves look like elongated needles, instead of the regular flatend out leaves we're used to

Further characteristics:

Seeds are hard and grow in large groups, stuck to eachother.

Coniferous are evergreen trees (don't shed leaves nor change the colour of these, although this rule does not apply to all of them).

They have spread worldwide.

Can withstand low temperaurees and can be found even in places like the Artic circle.

I've pasted some images down below that might help you a lot. (Left - leaves; Right - coniferous trees).

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
