What is true of lithospheric plates?

Biology
1 answer:
klemol [59]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. They are constantly moving. I think.

Explanation:

Each lithospheric plate is composed of a layer of oceanic crust or continental crust superficial to an outer layer of the mantle. Containing both crust and the upper region of the mantle, lithospheric plates are generally considered to be approximately 60 mi (100 km) thick. Earth's tectonic plates may have taken as long as 1 billion years to form, researchers report today in Nature. The plates — interlocking slabs of crust that float on Earth's viscous upper mantle — were created by a process similar to the subduction seen today when one plate dives below another, the report says. A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.

Brain cells that are neither neurons nor glia, but which are capable of dividing and then differentiating into neurons or glia,
solong [7]

ANSWER:

Brain cells that are neither neurons nor glia, but which are capable of dividing and then differentiating into neurons or glia, are called NEURAL STEM CELLS.

EXPLANATION:

Neural stem cells are undifferentiated cells originating in the central nervous system.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) have the potential to give rise to the radial glial progenitor cells that grow and differentiate into neurons and glial cells.

NSCs have an important role during development producing the enormous diversity of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the developing CNS.

A NEURON (nerve cell) is a specialized cell that conveys electrochemical impulses throughout the body.

provide support for and insulation between them.

GLIAL CELLS are the most abundant cell types in the central nervous system. Types of glial cells include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, Schwann cells, microglia, and satellite cells.
