Answer:

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.

Why does the the right testicle hang lower than the left?? PLease help i will be thank (Sorry english second language if your wo
Ber [7]

it is entirely normal for one testicle to be bigger than the other. Many people find that the right testicle is slightly larger and the left hangs lower. A difference in size is usually nothing to worry about, though it can occasionally indicate a problem.

This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Either side may be slightly larger or hang lower. But be sure to tell a parent (who will let your doctor know) if you have any pain, swelling, or lumps in your testicles.

When a vein in a testicle becomes enlarged, it's called a varicocele. Varicoceles affect up to 15 percent of males. Like varicose veins in your legs, varicoceles may appear bulgy under the skin of your scrotum. They tend to form in the left testicle because the vein on the left side hangs lower.
