Answer:

C. When the oceanic lithosphere, which is more dense, sinks and pulls the plate with it

Explanation:

Slab pull and other mechanisms are responsible for the motion of plates. Every tectonic plate is driven by mantle convection.

Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids.
It is as a result of differences in density and temperature values.
The oceanic crust is denser and colder.
As hot magma from deep within the subsurface rises and move through cracks, the oceanic lithosphere is drawn down and deeper.
This cycling between the cold lithosphere and hot rising plumes provides the mechanism that drives plate motion.

Answer:

The Continental Divide is important because it separates two major watersheds.

Explanation:

The Continental Divide is a chain of mountain ranges that runs through North America, from Alaska to Panama. This chain of mountain ranges is dividing the continent into two major watersheds. It runs through eastern Alaska, western Canada, western United States, and through the central parts of Mexico and Central America.

The waters from the eastern side of this watershed divide mostly end up in the Atlantic Ocean and its seas, and partially in the Arctic Ocean and its sea. The waters from the western side of this watershed divide end up in the Pacific Ocean and its seas. The eastern watershed has significantly more water running through it than the western one, with the main reason being that the eastern one is significantly larger.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Given the length, width and height find the volume, surface area and diagonal of a rectangular prism

h, l and w are known; find V, S and d

V = lwh

S = 2(lw + lh + wh)

d = √(l2 + w2 + h2)

2. Given the surface area, length and width find the height, volume and diagonal of a rectangular prism

S, l and w are known; find h, V and d

h = (S - 2lw) / (2l + 2w)

V = lwh

d = √(l2 + w2 + h2)

3. Given the volume, length and width find the height, surface area, and diagonal of a rectangular prism

V, l and w are known; find h, S and d

h = V / lw

S = 2(lw + lh + wh)

d = √(l2 + w2 + h2)

4. Given the diagonal, length and width find the height, volume and surface area of a rectangular prism

d, l and w are known; find h, V and S

h = √(d2 - l2 - w2)

V = lwh

S = 2(lw + lh + wh)

(Hope it helps)
