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.

Setler79 [48]

The correct order of steps in a gram staining procedure is:

(4) the specimen is treated with a stain called crystal violet.

(1) iodine is added as a fixative or mordant.

(3) the specimen is flushed with alcohol to dehydrate peptidoglycans and trap the stain.

(2) the specimen is treated with a stain such as safranin or fuchsin (a pink stain)

Gram staining is a common staining technique which helps to classify the bacteria into two categories: Gram positive and Gram negative. Gram positive bacteria appear violet in color and Gram negative bacteria appear to be pink. This color difference appears due to the difference in the bacterial cell walls.

Example of attribution theory that applies to real life situation?
Triss [41]
Attribution theory refers to how the social perceiver uses information in trying to explain casual events in everyday life. This primarily discusses as to how the information gathered are combined with in order to create a casual judgment. According to Heide (1958), people are like naive psychologists who are trying to figure out how and why things happen. For example, if someone with a bad family background succeeds, people will say that he used his struggle as a motivation and if he fails people will say that he succumb to the challenges.
