The theory of plate tectonics is what brings together continental drift and seafloor spreading. Plates are made of lithosphere topped with oceanic and/or continental crust. The plates are moved around on Earth's surface by seafloor spreading. Convection in the mantle drives seafloor spreading. Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges. The crust moves outward from the ridge over time. The crust may eventually sink into the mantle and be destroyed. If a continent sits on a plate with a mid-ocean ridge, the continent will be pushed along.
The theory of tectonic plates explains that large convectional currents occuring in the mantle(as a result of magma) are the reasons plates,and so continents,are moved. Note movement occurs in the boundary in between the plates.
Turtles eat the grass, grass is needed for fish breeding. If there are more turtles, they will eat more grass and there will obvious be less of it. If there is not enough grass, other populations of fish will leave because they can't breed.
In energy partitioning, metabolizable energy less less heat increment (energy lost as heat) gives the net energy. The net energy is further broken down to energy used for production and energy used for maintenance.
