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.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

It have been shown that domestic  turkeys require about 13.6 grams of food per pound of body weight each day to sustain weight. A gobbler is a male turkey.

The food consumed by a male turkey that is 17.5 lbs = 13.6 grams of food per pound * 17.5 pound = 238 grams.

7 gobblers = 7 male turkeys, hence:

The food consumed by 7 gobblers = 238 grams * 7 = 1666 grams
