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.

Effects of UHI on the humans​
Elina [12.6K]

HI is most noticeable during the summer and winter. The main cause of the urban heat island effect is from the modification of land surfaces. Waste heat generated by energy usage is a secondary contributor. As a population center grows, it tends to expand its area and increase its average temperature.

How does flooding rice fields reduce the need for herbicides and pesticides in rice farming? a. while rice has a submerged growt
Talja [164]

The Correct Answer : <u>Flooding the fields causes the soil to degrade so weeds cannot take root.</u>

Rice has a submerged growth state while most weeds do not. Therefore, flooding rice fields reduces the growth of these less robust pests without negatively affecting the rice crop. Flooding the fields also deters many kinds of vermin that would otherwise live in the soil and harm the rice plants because they cannot breathe underwater.

<u />

<h3>What is Pesticides?</h3>

Pesticides are chemicals that may be used to kill fungus, bacteria, insects, plant diseases, snails, slugs, or weeds among others. These chemicals can work by ingestion or by touch and death may occur immediately or over a long period of time.

<h3>What is Herbicides?</h3>

Herbicides are used to kill undesirable plants or “weeds”. Some herbicides will kill all the plants they touch, while others are designed to target one species.

<u />

Therefore, we can conclude that the correct option is B.
