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.

Answer:

I assume you are referring to bees?

Explanation:

From what I know and this is just surface level knowledge, she is the one who births the hive and usually designates their purpose once she has laid the eggs. She herself does not do much, she is just the one that the infrastructure of the hive follows in maintaining the hive itself. I hope this helps. Good luck!

victus00 [196]

Answer:

It should be A

Explanation:

The Golgi apparatus is made up of stacks of membrane sacs. Transport vesicles, carrying proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum, enter the Golgi apparatus to be modified and stored. Eventually, these proteins are sent on to their final destinations inside or outside of the cell.
