Answer:

(b) a descending convection current in the Earth's mantle.

Explanation:

We cannot see the deep interior of Earth, but we know from a variety of observations that it is in continuous motion. This is because the mantle convects. This fundamental planetary process has profoundly influenced the character and evolution of Earth.

Mantle convection is the main way heat from Earth's interior is transported to its surface, and this heat escapes principally through mid-ocean ridges. In fact, the connected mid-ocean ridge system is in essence a 80,000 km long volcano.

Heat in the mantle comes from the Earth's molten outer core, decay of radioactive elements and, in the upper mantle, friction from descending tectonic plates. The heat in the outer core results from residual energy from the Earth's formative events and the energy generated by decaying radioactive elements. This heat warms the base of the mantle to an estimated 7,230°F. At the mantle-crust boundary. the mantle's temperature is an estimated 392°F.

The has to do with free trade and the movement of people, capital, and goods and services
vekshin1

Free trade, also called laissez-faire, is a policy in which the government does not discriminate against imports or interfere with the export of goods through prices (for sale) or subsidies (for export).

<h3>What are free trade and free movement?</h3>

Under the free trade policy, goods and services may be purchased and sold at international borders with limited or non-existent government tariffs, quotas, subsidies, or restrictions to restrict their trade.

The concept of free trade is contrary to trade protection or economic isolation.

Thus, free trade movement deals with free trade and the movement of people, capital, and goods and services.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

In the history of agriculture, no technology has been adopted so quickly and completely as genetically engineered crops. Particularly useful crops are ones that have an engineered resistance to herbicides. These crops have alluring benefits: reduced crop damage when herbicides are sprayed, easier weed management, and even the potential for environmental benefits. So what’s the problem? Herbicide-resistant weeds. The benefits gleaned from these crops begin to disappear as these superweeds gain prominence on farmlands across world. However, to fully appreciate the current predicament, it is necessary to understand what led to the difficult problem of superweeds. And it starts with the most common herbicide used in agriculture: Roundup.
