Causes of plate motion

Mantle convection currents, ridge push and slab pull are three of the forces that have been proposed as the main drivers of plate movement (based on What drives the plates? Pete Loader). There are a number of competing theories that attempt to explain what drives the movement of tectonic plates.

What tools do marine scientists use to make observations about oceans and marine organisms
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The tools used by marine scientists to make observations about oceans and marine organisms are Remote Operated vehicle (ROV), Automated untethered Vehicle (AUVs), Global positioning system (GPS) and Human-occupied vehicle (HOV).

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

ROV mean Remote operated vehicle which allows marine scientists to explore the ocean without necessary being in the ocean. Remote Operated Vehicle is a robot that is controlled by a person on the ship.

It is connected to the ship and the person that controls it uses joystick, which is similar to how we play a video game. It has a still camera, video camera and lights used to transmit videos and images back to the ship.  

Automated untethered vehicles (AUVs) are untethered, unmanned vehicles that are used by marine scientists to conduct underwater research. Through Micromodem, an operator controlled computer passes information or command to AUVs in regards to when, where and what they sample. AUVs use different types of equipment for surveying and sampling such as sonar, camera and depth sensors.

Global positioning system (GPS) receiver is a navigation system that is used to show the location of the ship. GPS provides accurate navigation information for marine scientists.

Human occupied vehicle (HOV) also known as manned submersibles have the capacity to reach the full-depth of the ocean. It is used by marine scientists to carry out geophysical, geochemical, and biological studies, viewing and sampling of organism.

It has high quality video imaging system and can produce 3-D movies. It also has sophisticated syntactic foam.

kap26 [50]
This implies that the gametophytes can easily lose water to, and absorb water from, the atmosphere. 
Moss is a flowerless, spore-producing pant. The main moss structure is the gametophyte, a moss's stem and leaves. A moss stem also the axis supports leaf-like structures that carry out photosynthesis, transforming sunlight into sugars the moss uses for food.
