Answer/Explanation:

movement can be cause by the intense heat in the earth's core, which causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.  it moves in a pattern called 'convection cell' which can form when the warm material rises, then cools, and eventually sink down.  then the process repeats (cooled, warms up and rises.. etc..)

I hope this was what you were kinda looking for:) - T

Explain how temperature and precipitation are affected by latitude and the sun's rays.
Contact [7]
Latitude and Temperature

At the equator, the Sun's rays are most direct. This is where temperatures are highest. At higher latitudes, the Sun's rays are less direct. The farther an area is from the equator, the lower its temperature.

An atom with a high metallic character usually has a ____ electron affinity and a ____ atomic radius.
lianna [129]

Low electron affinity and large atomic radius

Metallic character decreases across a period (from left to right) and increases down a group.

Electron affinity increases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the decrease in atomic radius. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by the increase in atomic radius.
