Tectonic plates are parts (pieces) of the outermost layer of Earth: the Crust. (the outermost part of the mantle is also often included in the plates). This means that the land in the middle of the plates is relatively stable while the borders of the plates can be in movement - after all this is where two pieces meet. Plate borders are where the vocanoes and Earthquakes often take place.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The thermocline is a layer in the ocean that represents:

<u> Density change due to temperature.</u>

Explanation:

A thermocline is a thin distinctive layer in a large body of fluid which is exactly located between warmer mixed water at the top of ocean surface and cooler deep water at the bottom of ocean surface. Salinity is defined as the total amount of salt dissolved in water.

The water in the ocean or sea forms into layers according to density. Water with high density sinks at the bottom while water with low density sits on the top. And the density of water changes with salinity and temperature. Higher salinity leads to higher density, and the water changes rapidly with depth.

Larger countries receive more money in remittances than smaller countries. Please select the best answer from the choices provid
Vsevolod [243]

The correct answer is - False.

The money in remittances are mostly money that have been given as a gift to a country in order to help its development, or the money that are sent back home by the people that work abroad.

The smaller countries receive much more money in this way, and the reason for that is that in general, they are less developed than the larger countries. Most of these countries are either developing or less developed countries, so there's money that come as a support from all over the world, mostly from the biggest and most powerful countries. Also, there's lot of people that leave and work abroad, but their families are not with them, so they send a lot of money in order for their family to survive.
