The reason why the lithospheric plates that compose the Earth's crust are constantly moving is A. The underlying mantle layer is molten where convection currents cause the movement of the lithospheric plates.

<h3>Why do plates move?</h3>

The earth's crust is made up of lithospheric plates that rest on the mantle which is molten as a result of the high temperatures of the core.

Convection currents in the mantle result in the plates moving as the currents come up from the core to heat up the mantle.

In conclusion, option A is correct.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

In this region we see that faulting has occurred. Because the rock strata are not lined up with one another across the entire region, it is clear that the land has faulted and the the two edge blocks have slipped downwards leaving the middle block uplifted or that the middle block has been pushed upwards.

These two types of faulting are called normal faulting and reverse faulting. They are the result of tension and compression stresses, respectively, that pull and compress the rocks creating fractures called faults. If the stress is sufficient, the outer blocks slide downward or the middle block is uplifted.
