Answer:

Explanation:

As one moves down the vertical groupings of elements on the periodic table, it is evident that new shells are being added from top to down.

An atomic orbital is the region of space surrounding the nucleus where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Down a group, the atomic radius increases as more shells are added to an atom.

A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements

Explanation:

The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics is the use of  GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements.

GPS denotes Global Positioning Systems.

Satellite imagery is a recent advancement in the study of moving plates.

  • The global positioning system uses the position of a system of satellites in space to delineate positions on earth.
  • It works on the principles of triangulation and this helps to fix positions of objects on the earth surface.
  • With this, the change in position of the plates can be recorded by known fixed positions of objects.
  • Satellite imagery helps to map changes in terrain with time.
  • Images can be correlated through time and the shift in terrains delineated.
