Answer:

Heat energy from the earth's core

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of hot molten rock materials in its extreme interior. These are dense materials namely iron, nickel and some other siderophile elements are also present. They are mostly the alloys of iron and nickel. The temperature at the core is about 6000°C. This heat energy is radiated from the interior of the earth towards the outer layers, as a result of which the convection currents are generated in the mantle. This convection current is responsible for the drifting of the lithospheric plates over the less dense layer of asthenosphere.

These plates when floats over the asthenosphere shares the following type of plate boundaries, namely-

(1) Divergent plate boundary

(2) Convergent plate boundary

(3) Transform plate boundary

What is the difference between slavery tolerated because of "necessity" and slavery affirmed as a "moral right"?
malfutka [58]

Slavery tolerated because of "necessity" means that you do not really want to do it, but you think you must do it. An example is when you have a farm and you need people to work on it. The trouble behind this scenario is that your farm isn’t making money to pay your farm helpers their proper wages, so you resort to slavery. In this case, you do not need money for salaries because your farm is doing well to keep your slaves clothed and fed.

Slavery affirmed as a "moral right" is when you think it is your right to be the master and the slaves deserves to be slaves.
