Answer:
Tectonic plates are:
enormous pieces of Earth's crust and upper mantle that fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle.
Explanation:
Tectonic plates are gigantic pieces of Earth's crust, that is, parts of the Earth's surface. They are also called lithospheric plates. The plates are shaped irregularly, and their sizes can vary, some reaching thousands of kilometers. Those pieces move in relation to one another. When they move together, their movement causes earthquakes. The largest tectonic plate in the world is the Pacific plate, which has over 100 million square kilometers. This plate is, however, mainly underwater.
Answer:
Two devices that are being used in the lines are:
C. repetition
D. rhyme/rhythm
Explanation:
Repetition is a literary device consisting of repeating the same word or phrase for emphasis or clarity. Repetition can appear in both prose and poetry, and it can also be a rhetorical device. In the lines we are analyzing here, the phrase "I'm growing" is repeated at the beginning of each line:
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;
I'm growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my sighs;
Rhyme is a correspondence of sounds between different words. In the lines above, we have a rhyme scheme of ABAB, that is, "staff" rhymes with "laugh" - lines 1 and 3 -, and "eyes" rhymes with "sighs" - lines 2 and 4.
As for rhythm, I believe we have an iambic tetrameter - a four time repetition of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Take a look below:
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
