The lithosphere,which is the rigid outermost shell of the planet(the crust,and upper mantle),is broken into tectonic plates.The earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates(depending on how they are defined)and many minor plates.In this way,the total surface of the lithosphere remain,the same.

Answer:

phylum Cnidaria

Explanation:

Cnidocytes represent a group of living organisms, whose members are Jellyfish, Sea Anemone, Hydra, Portuguese Caravel. Cnidocytes are found in the Cnidaria phylum.

Cnidaria, known in the past as coelenterates, are relatively simple animals with no circulatory and respiratory system, all of which are done through the diffusion process. They have diffuse nervous system and metabolism products are eliminated by mouth. The locomotion occurs through jets of water in the jellyfish and some polyps move slowly dragging or somersaulting.

the element nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 and an atomic mass of 14 how many protons, neutrons and electrons are in a atom o
Nat2105 [25]

Answer: By definition, if  the atomic number  = 7 , then there are 7 protons, 7 electrons, and 8 neutrons!

Explanation:

The atomic number is by definition the number of protons, positively charged particles, contained within the atomic nucleus. So if there are 7 protons, there MUST be 7 electrons, 7 negatively charged particles. Why? Because matter is electrically neutral, and positive and negative particles must be equal.

Electrons have negligible mass; the mass number depends on the number of protons contained within the nucleus, PLUS the number of neutrons. Given that we have  15  N , there must be 8 neutrons contained within the nucleus.  does this help?
