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.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the structures and functions of the central nervous system work to help prevent injuries with the help of bone. The main line of defense of central nervous system is the bones of the skull and spinal column, which create a hard physical barrier to injury. If these line of defense are not present for central nervous system so it has more chances to get injury so we can say that the structures and functions of the nervous system helps to prevent injuries.
