What processes drive motion of the plates​

zalisa [80]4 years ago

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.

Explanation:

In Classical conditioning, learning occurs when a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus which can bring about conditioned responses.

For example, unconditioned stimulus (food) is presented repeatedly just after the presentation of the neutral stimulus (bell). After conditioning, the neutral stimulus alone produces a conditioned response (salivation), thereby becoming a conditioned stimulus. From this example, if a dog salivates whenever it sees food but a bell is rung before the food is presented, Overtime just ringing the bell will make the dog to salivate.

igomit [66]
The arthropod phylum is the largest phylum of the animal kingdom, including among others all the species of lobsters, insects, crabs, spiders and centipedes. Contrary to popular belief, animals belonging to this phylum exhibit a wide range of behaviours. Parental skills or care is a term related to the behaviours involving the protection of eggs and young.
Several species of insects, look after their eggs over the winter and when the eggs hatch, the young stay with their mother, for feeding and protection.
Some species of spiders and scorpions, hold their eggs in a web formation and once they hatch, they hold them on their back until they are able to survive by themselves.
