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.

Explain how business leaders of the Gilded Age used the concept of "Social Darwinism" to support their business tactics.
Rina8888 [55]

Copying my answer from this question from another student who asked the same one:

Social Darwinism is the belief that people and business are subject to the same laws of nature and natural selection. This has been used by business leaders, both in the Gilded Age and today, to create a belief that the strongest businesses are the ones that survive because they survive the competitive process of natural selection.

So, massive oil companies and railroad companies (and tech companies and banks today) used social darwinism to explain their rise to almost monopoly status as a "natural" thing that was accomplished merely using the laws of nature.

Temka [501]

ANSWER: It should be reported in a psychological journal using this formate of the APA style.

F(3, 26) = 2.91, P < .05

Explanation: APA which means American Psychological Association, has a style of reporting an experimental results in a their psychological journal.

To report the result of a one way ANOVA, one should be subtracted from the level of the independent variable, and the number of the levels should be subtracted from the number of subject in each group. The function of the values gotten is always equal to the result obtained at F. Since the alpha level is 0.05 that means P is less than 0.05.

30 - 4 = 26

4 - 1 = 3

Therefore;

F(3, 26) = 2.91

P < 0.05.
