Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The Earth's crust and mantle reach thermal equilibrium

Explanation:

The movement of the tectonic plates in the theory of plate tectonics is believed to be due to the heating of the mantle from the Earth's core causing convection currents which causes movement of molten rock in the Earth's mantle.

The convection current movement caused by the rising of the heated mantle material close to the Earth's crust and the sinking of cooled material back towards the core is similar to a stove boiling water in a pot.

Therefore, when the Earth's crust and mantle are at thermal equilibrium, there will be no convection current and the tectonic plates of Earth will stop moving.

Answer:

People can help prevent erosion to the coastline by limiting the construction of seawalls and sandbags that lead to beach erosion. Communities should preserve natural sand dunes, as they protect the coastlines from erosion. Man-made sand dunes actually do the opposite. It is important to consider that natural sand dunes are made of layers of different types of sand, which enables the wind to gather sand in a specific spot instead of reducing it, while also allowing vegetation to grow deeper and protect the coastline.
