What processes drive motion of the plates​

Social Studies
1 answer:
zalisa [80]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Convection currents, slab pulls and ridge pushes

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are driven by the heat coming from the Earth’s core. In the mantle, under the Earth’s crust, hot magma rises. As it reaches the bottom of the Earth’s crust, in the region know as the asthenosphere, the magma drags along the bottom of the tectonic plate. The friction causes the plate to move in the same direction. The magma cools and falls back into the mantle to be heated again and continue the process.

Ridge push occurs on constructive (divergent) plate boundaries. As the plates move apart magma rises to the surface and cools to form new rock. The weight and pressure of the new rock help to push the tectonic plate away from each other.

Slab pull occurs on destructive plate boundaries. On the plate is subducted under the other. As it does so the subducted plate dives into the mantle. The weight of the subducted section pulls the rest of the plate towards it.

Masteriza [31]

  • Impulsivity: they feel a sudden urge to take action, without thinking too much about the long term consequences.

The issue of free silver (to increase the amount of currency in circulation) was championed in the election of 1896 by _________
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

William Jenings Bryan

Explanation:

By the time of the 1896 election, the american public was divided between people who supported the gold standard, and those who supported the adoption of silver as back-up for the US Dollar. This position was known as bimetalism. William Jenings Bryan was part of the latter group.

He supported silver because it would increase the money supply and he thought that more money in the economy would increase the standard of living. In a way, this is a form of expansionary monetary policy that aims at invigorating the economy by increasing the amount of curreny people have on their hands.
