1. What causes the tectonic plates to move?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: 1. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift. 2. But scientists were at a loss to explain why some pieces of crust move much faster than others. A new study suggests these tectonic plates control their own speed more than the mantle does. ... The velocities of these plates and the velocities of the boundaries between these plates vary significantly on Earth." 3. Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

What is semipermeable

ANEK [815]

Semipermeable means only certain substances can pass through. I imagine you are talking about cell membranes which are semipermeable. This means vital things like oxygen and nutrients are able to pass through the membrane, while not allowing everything to enter the cell

The branch of biology known as evolutionary-developmental biology is the study of:_______.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

B) how changes in development underpin the evolution of morphology.

Explanation:

Evolutionary developmental biology is the new field of research in biology which studies the combined relationship of the evolution and the developmental processes.

This interdisciplinary study compares the developmental biology in terms of evolution or in a way that how the developmental biology process evolved in the organism on the basis of studying the phenotypic features of the organisms.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
