It is used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions. And their intermediate points.
Answer:
C. When the oceanic lithosphere, which is more dense, sinks and pulls the plate with it
Explanation:
Slab pull and other mechanisms are responsible for the motion of plates. Every tectonic plate is driven by mantle convection.
- Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids.
- It is as a result of differences in density and temperature values.
- The oceanic crust is denser and colder.
- As hot magma from deep within the subsurface rises and move through cracks, the oceanic lithosphere is drawn down and deeper.
- This cycling between the cold lithosphere and hot rising plumes provides the mechanism that drives plate motion.
Speaking from experience, the answer is not D.
Answer would be B. Earthquakes happen most of the time when a volcano is about to erupt.
