The earth's interior heat and pressure drive mantle convection. This is the power that drives plate tectonics, the main force behind earthquake and volcanic activity.

The correct answer is - plate tectonics.

The convection currents in the mantle, are having very high temperatures and very high pressures. Because of that, they managed to crack the crust, and thus divide the surface of the Earth in multiple peaces, or as we call them, tectonic plates. The very high pressure from bellow manages to push the tectonic plates in certain direction, and even though that movement is only a couple of cm per year, on the long term it has huge effects on everything on the planet.

Oceans change the land along the shore, forming tall cliffs and jagged coastlines. Which statement explains the type of weatheri
Yanka [14]

Oceans change the land along the shore, forming tall cliffs and jagged coastlines. "The abrasive nature of seawater causes the rocks to erode over a period of time", the statement explains the type of weathering involved in this process

<u>Explanation: </u>

The abrasive nature of the sea water of the ocean causes erosion in the rocks which are along the shore. And, this occurs for a period of time causes the formation of the tall cliffs sometimes or to the jagged coastline the other time.

The duration of erosion decides the fate of the cliff or coastline. Erosion of rocks are highly evident in ocean shore line due to the effect of salinity of the sea water. The rocks gets eroded firstly to form jagged coastline which on long exposed erosion forms cliff.

A country whose economy can be described as "developing" is most likely to engage in which kind of economic activity.
Leya [2.2K]

The correct answer is - industry.

The developing countries are most often occupied with making the economies heavily focused on the industry, so the countries engage into a big industrialization process.

The industries are usually based around manufacturing of the natural resources that the country has, and most often those are the metal ores, the agricultural products, creating materials...

The developing countries usually have a relatively big economic growth, and that is due to the bad economic basis that they had as a starting point.
