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.

Why is special creation not considered a scientific explanation for the diversity of life on earth?
Rufina [12.5K]
Special Creation is a term that can be interpreted a number of ways, just as evolution can. One interpretation called Young Earth Creationism, YEC, erroneously discounts much of the physics, chemistry, biology and wealth of data that science has observed. Most pronounced is the proposition that the universe is only ~<10 k years old. Because of this, it is not considered scientific. When applied to the diversity of life, YEC's believe all life is the result of special creation events made in less than one week of time, countering the long times for organism development and progression that science has observed. YECs account for the origin of all life through special creation, while science presently has no explanation naturalistically for the origin of life. YECs do not recognize evolution, science presently considers evolution through natural selection, as the source of all living entities. While evolution is fatally flawed in explaining how life has progressed, YECs compress all life development, despite the long period of time indicated scientifically.

An alternate special creation model accepts the long era of Earth formation and life's creation and progression, attributes the origin of life to God's intelligent designed cellular functionality, considers all of the fossil evidence showing stages of radiation events, stasis and extinction as God bioformed the Earth using common design for the eventual consciously intelligent humans.

Which statements describe seismic waves? Check all that apply.
Keith_Richards [23]
The answer that apply is:
<span>They carry energy
</span><span>They travel from the epicenter.
</span><span>They vibrate throughout the lithosphere.
</span>
Reason why the following the false:
<span>They move in one direction- seismic wave do not only move in a direction but spread out through the plate,that's why a large area would be affected.

</span><span>They are produced by earthquakes. - seismic waves are not produced by earthquake but the opposite,earthquake occurs due to the release of seismic wave when the ground break and vibrates.</span>
