The diagram below shows a cross section of Earth’s layers. Arrows show the direction of the flow of rock in the outer layers of

Earth.
Movement of rock in Earth’s crust can occur because of heat flow, as hot rock rises and cool rock sinks, and because of new rock pushing older rock away from ridges. What is the best description of how the older rock moves to allow continents to move apart, leaving behind ocean basins?

(SC.7.E.6.7)

Group of answer choices

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pulled towards the ridge. This moves Earth’s crust, so continental plates can move closer together, forming ocean basins.

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pushed up to form mountain ranges. These mountain ranges push continental plates farther apart, leaving behind ocean basins.

As new rock forms at ocean ridges, the older rock is pushed away from the ridge. This moves Earth’s crust, so continental plates can move closer together, forming ocean basins.

Which of these rules was part of the caste system? (4 points) A person could change his or her status through achievement, such
Alinara [238K]
The correct rule is "a person could not marry a person of lower social standing."

If you are born into a lower social class & became wealthier, had good behavior, owned more land, etc., it wouldn't change your position.

You are going to be stuck with the same social class your entire life, same thing would happen if your parents were in the lower social class & you became more successful, you would still be in the same class as your parents. You would work the jobs they worked & go through what they have to go through. Though I believe later on it was socially acceptable to marry to a lower class, but it was taboo.

Hopefully this helped of some sort!
