We know that heat from Earth's interior is responsible for the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the crust. Where doe

s
the majority of this heat energy originate?
A)
Radioactive decay of elements in the mantle and crust generate about 80%
of the heat energy flowing to the surface.
B)
The dynamo generated within Earth's core creates heat energy as a product
of friction hat energy flows to the surface.
o
Because both the outer core and lower mantle are liquids, as the move
they generate the heat needed to drive plate tectonics.
D)
The source of most of the heat energy flowing to Earth's surface is heat
that was generated when Earth was formed; as Earth cools over time, that
energy is transferred through the layers.

using lo 'ihi seamount as the current location of the hawaiian hotspot, what was the rate of pacific plate motion relative to th
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The rate of pacific plate motion is 7 centimeters per year.

<h3>Movement of pacific plate</h3>

The rate of pacific plate motion is seven centimeters which is equals to 2.75 inches per year i.e. about the rate at which fingernails grow. The main reason behind the movement of Pacific Plate is due to sea floor spreading from the East Pacific Rise (divergent margin) in the Gulf of California.

While on the other hand, the North American Plate moved to the west and north west due to sea floor spreading from the Mid Atlantic Ridge (divergent margin) so we can conclude that the rate of pacific plate motion is 7 centimeters per year.

Answer:

I think the right method to protect the environment and protect energy is to use renewable resources. If we used renewable resources within time all the nonrenewable resources we used would be replenished. I also think this would be the right thing to do because, for example if we used solar or wind energy we wouldn't waste energy as much as we do now days.

However if we were to use this. The cost for using renewable energy would be money. These days solar energy is very expensive, if we were to start using it we would spend a lot of money. Another thing is we would have to make sure that we are storing some energy in case the weather conditions are bad. (solar energy)

All in all, I think using renewable energy is the way to go, if we used this we could protect the environment.
