Answer:

Moreover, the way that this works is that convection currents in the mantle causes tectonic plates to move when material near the Earth's core rises, and colder mantle rock sinks. Hot magma wells up at the ridges, forming new ocean crust and shoving the plates apart.

Answer:

ribosome, cell membrane, nucleus

Explanation:

The organelles that perform similar functions in both plant and animal cells among the listed organelles would be the ribosome, the cell membrane, and the nucleus.

First of all, chloroplast and cell wall are limited to the plant cell only. Animal cells do not have these organelles.

The ribosome functions as the site of protein synthesis in both plant and animal cells. The cell membrane acts as a channel for the control of the movement of materials in and out of the cells and is found in both plant and animal cells. The nucleus is also present in both cells and serves as the control unit of the cell by housing the genetic materials and dictating how the cells will behave.
