Answer:

Earthquakes and volcanoes.

Explanation:

Earthquakes and volcanoes are responsible for the movement of these continental and oceanic plates because movement of these tectonic plates occurs due to convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle present below the crust. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of these tectonic movement while the long-term result of these tectonics causes the movement of entire continents over millions of years. The density of crust is 2.2 g/cm3, the density of upper mantle is 3.4 g/cm3, the density of lower mantle is 4.4 g/cm3, the density of outer core is 9.9 g/cm3 and the density of inner core is 12.8 g/cm3

Which of the following is a domestic influence on foreign policy?
LenKa [72]

The correct answer is - A famine in Ireland prompts US response.

With the Irish famine of the 19th century, and the response to it by the United States, we have a very nice example of domestic influence on foreign policy.

Namely, the Irish potato famine was so bad, that very large percentage of the Irish population actually died, and the rest of the population was on the verge of starvation. Because of this, lots of people wanted to move out of the country in order to at least be able to have food on the table. This prompted a response from the United States, and they made an exception in their strict foreign policy because of the Irish people, so opened their borders to them in order to help them, thus letting them settle in the country.
