Answer:

Theory of Plate tectonics: states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere

Lithosphere: the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.

Convection currents: occur when a heated fluid expands, becoming less dense, and rises

Seafloor spreading: the formation of new areas of oceanic crust, which occurs through the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.

Paleomagnetic: is the study of the record of the Earth's magnetic field in rocks, sediment, or archeological materials.

Divergent boundary: occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.

Convergent boundary: is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide.

Rift valley: A rift valley is a linear-shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault.

Transform fault boundary: A transform fault or transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal.

Subduction zone: is a region of the Earth's crust where tectonic plates meet.

Trench: Trenches are long, narrow depressions on the seafloor that form at the boundary of tectonic plates where one plate is pushed, or subducts, beneath another.

Continental-oceanic convergence: When two plates come towards each other they create a convergent plate boundary. The plates can meet where both have oceanic crust or both have continental crust, or they can meet where one has oceanic and one has continental.

Continental-continental convergence: So when two continental plates collide, they just smash together. When two plates of continental crust collide, the material pushes upward. This forms a high mountain range. The remnants of subducted oceanic crust remain beneath the continental convergence zone.

Waters high heat protects organisms in ocean from what

Alja [10]

Answer:

Water's high specific heat allows it to absorb a large amount of heat without changing much in temperature, keeping a relatively constant temperature in oceans and lakes which is beneficial to marine life. If water did not have a high specific heat, then it would increase in temperature very quickly and oceans and lakes would have drastic changes in temperature in very short periods of time. This could harm or kill the organisms living in them.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is "All of these are fixed patterns".

Explanation:

Fixed action patterns are instinctive programmed responses in different species that are triggered by a specific external sensory stimulus. These stimuli are called sign stimuli. When the sign occurs, the animal starts a sequence of acts in response to the stimulus and continuous until the series of actions is completed. If the animal is interrupted for some reason, it continues its job from where it was interrupted; either the original stimulus is or is not present.

A chick’s gaping mouth induces a feeding response in a parent bird: The stimulus is the gaping mouth, which makes the parents to instinctually respond foraging more and feeding the chick.

A male fruit fly waves his wings at a female fruit fly during courtship: In courtship, the original stimulus is the presence of the female. One of the male´s responses actions is the wave of its wings.

A baby garter snake captures and eats a slug: For the baby snake, the sign stimulus is the slug scent. The snake then responses by capturing and eating the slug.

A European cuckoo hatchling pushes the host bird's egg out of the nest: The stimulus for the cuckoo chick is the presence of the host bird´s egg. When the cuckoo bird emerges from its egg, even before it opens its eyes, it pushes the host out of the nest.
