Answer:C Earth's solid surface layer sits on a moving, semiliquid layer.

Explanation:

Earth is highly tectonically active because the solid layer of the earth sits on a moving, semi-liquid layer.

The earth's crust is broken into slabs. Together with part of the upper mantle, they form a layer called the lithosphere. These solid lithospheric bodies are called tectonic plates.

Population density  =number  of   individual  divided  land  area
land  area  should  be  in  square kilometers
therefore 120  ha  =120  x0.01=1.2 square kilometer  since   1 ha=0.01  kilometer  square
total  population=  (80  x  1500)/100=1200
population  density   is therefore=1200/1.2=1000

Ionic bonds are the consequence of electrostatic fascination and electron exchange amongst positive and negative particles (cations and anions). Ionic bonding infers the development of requested crystalline solids and the cleavage of those solids will rely upon the quality of this bonding.
