What processes drive motion of the plates​

Social Studies
1 answer:
zalisa [80]4 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.

Do meno and socrates ever discover if virtue can be taught?
AnnyKZ [126]

Explanation:

Socrates and Meno both describe that at least virtue is the part of wisdom but we can not say that a most virtuous person is most beneficent only out of knowledge. This is the last point where Socrates and Meno failed to find virtue itself in considering such a virtuous person. This suggests puzzles Meno but Socrates explains that they have been looking for that virtue as a kind of teachable knowledge. The good deeds of virtuous men could equally be the result of not of the knowledge but the opinion.  

Even Socrates gives the example of the guide on the road to the Larissa whether the guide has the knowledge and the true opinion about the way that results in the same
