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.

The absorption of this mineral is decreased when the diet is high in fiber and phytates.
Gekata [30.6K]

<span>The absorption of iron is reduced when you have a diet high in fiber and phytates. Even though an excess of fiber can have an effect in the body’s ability to absorb some minerals, fiber is very safe and even necessary in reasonable amounts. phytatic acids on the other hand are responsible of binding metallic cations reducing the capacity of the body of absorbing iron, calcium and zinc and should be consumed with moderation.</span>
