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

-BARSIC- [3]
Here is an explanation of tariffs. Since I can't see the statements for this question, you can use the following information to help.

Tariffs are a tax on an imported goods. These tariffs cause the price of foreign goods to increase. Many businesses, especially in the North, like the idea of tariffs because it makes more likely that citizens will buy products made by them rather than buying products made in other countries. Ultimately, a tariff helps to protect American industry/businesses.
