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.

<h3>What is moraine?</h3>

Why do polar compounds dissolve in water?
Dmitrij [34]
Because water is polar and oil is nonpolar, their molecules are not attracted to each other. The molecules of a polar solvent like water are attracted to other polar molecules, such as those of sugar. ... Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride, are also highly soluble in water.
