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.

Answer:

Anterior end

Explanation:

You have a pretty good shot at guessing this, because the earthworm has very little going on at the posterior end except the anus. And you probably saw this in lab, too.

I've attached a picture of the earthworm anatomy. Worms can't smell in the strictest sense, but they can use their receptors as kind of a combo smell-taste thing, and those are located in the anterior end.
