Alexandra is researching the effects plate tectonics have on the shape of Earth. Which of the following is a result of plate tec
tonics?
A) The movement of ocean currents
B) Radiation from the Sun
C)The gravity of the Moon
D)Heat within Earth
1 answer:
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.
