How does gravity cause plates to move? Explain

Biology
2 answers:

Answer:

The main driving force of plate tectonics is gravity. If a plate with oceanic lithosphere meets another plate, the dense oceanic lithosphere dives beneath the other plate and sinks into the mantle. The sinking oceanic lithosphere drags the rest of the tectonic plate and this is the main cause of plate motion. This process is called subduction.

Describe the route taken by oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body cells
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.

OR

The blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs. Oxygenated blood leaves the lung via the pulmonary vein. Blood moves into the left ventricle. Blood is pumped into the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood around the body.
