1. What causes the tectonic plates to move?

Biology
1 answer:
Andrew [12]2 years ago
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.

Caminalcules Questions, Please help !!
Sphinxa [80]
<span>#1) Find one example of convergent evolution among the Caminalcules.

Answer: The best example that I can think of is the wings on a bat. They have elongated fingers that make up most of the wings. They use skin that is stretched between their fingers to create the area that is required to produce lift. The arm bones in the bats and birds are homologous to one another, but their wings are the result of convergent evolution. Birds and bats have aerodynamic bodies which allow them to pass fly through the air efficiently. Also some insects, like dragonflies, have aerodynamic bodies, but bees and beetles don’t.

Is climate change density dependent ?
Sergio [31]

Extreme climates changes are independent. But some other types are dependent. However, they are too minor to really be included.
