Question

Alexandra is researching the effects plate tectonics have on the shape of Earth. Which of the following is a result of plate tectonics?
A) The movement of ocean currents

B) Radiation from the Sun

C)The gravity of the Moon

D)Heat within Earth

Answer 1

D)Heat within Earth

Explanation:

The heat from within the earth is as a result of plate tectonics. Plates on the earth are driven by heat within the earth through convection currents.

• Plate tectonics suggests that the earth are broken into slabs that moves on the weak and ductile material called asthenosphere.
• Heat from within the earth causes the melting of asthenosphere.
• The riding lithosphere which is cold will sink into the asthenoshpere.
• Hot mantle materials will move to the surface thereby setting up a convection current.
• Heat from within the earth rises to the surface due to plate movement.
