Which statement best describes the theory of plate tectonics?

A. Plates sometimes move closer to one another.

B. Sections of Earth that shift are part of Earth's asthenosphere.

C. Sections of Earth's continents are in slow, constant movement.

C. Parts of the ocean floor move as they are carried by rift valleys, ​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Sections of Earth's continents are in slow, constant movement.

Explanation:

Earth's crust is broken up and divided into numerous pieces. These pieces are called tectonic plates and they come in various shapes and sizes. The tectonic plates can consist predominantly of continental crust or predominantly of oceanic crust, and there isn't a single plate that is exclusively made out just from one type of crust.

The reason why Earth's crust is broken apart is the force that comes from the convection currents from the mantle below it. Not just that the convection currents break up the crust, but they also push it in a certain direction. By doing so, the convection currents manage to move the tectonic plates on Earth's surface, and even though this is a slow movement, it has huge effects.

Answer 2

Answer: C Sections of Earth’s continents are in slow, constant movement.

Explanation: edge

True of False
Hot Springs and Geysers indicate there is hot
rock, magma, underneath heating the water.

Answers

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

Hot springs and geysers are natural features where we have warm to hot water coming out or propelling into the air. They can be found in a lot of places around the world, but what can be noticed is that the highest concentration of them is actually near the plate boundaries, slightly less in former volcanic areas, and rarely in areas that have not been tectonically active for a prolonged period of time.

The reason for such distribution is that the magma deep into the crust and the hot rocks are what cause the formation of hot springs and geysers. The groundwater gets heated by the magma that has managed to rich to a certain point in the crust, or has heated up the rocks above it. Being exposed to heat, the water gets hot as well, but also that creates a lot of pressure, and in the case of the geysers it results in shooting out hot water high into the air.

A triangle has two sides of length 9 and 12.What is the largest possible whole number length for the third side

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 20.

Explanation:

According to the triangle inequality theorem states that the largest and smallest value of the third side of the triangle can be found with the other two sides. The lowest value would be more than the difference of the other two sides and the largest value would be less than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle.

In this case, the other two sides are - 9 and 12

suppose the third side is - x

Then according to the triangle inequality theorem, the largest value of x would be:

x< 12+9

x< 21

so the x would be less than the 21 which is - 20.

The Ozarks can be found in the Region. northern southern western

Answers

Answer:

The Ozarks can be found in the Southern region.

Explanation:

The Ozarks are a set of highlands located midway between the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains. In fact, it is the largest highland area between the aforementioned two massive mountain ranges, and it is found in the middle of a lowland area. Regionally speaking, the Ozarks are located in the Southern region of the United States.

These highlands are not in the same category as the large mountain ranges in the east and west of the United States. Instead, they are relatively low in elevation, with more plateau-like features, and the area they occupy is also relatively small when compared to large mountain ranges. Anyhow, because it is located in the middle of a vast lowland area, it sticks out from its surroundings and seems much more marking and high than what it actually is.

In what type of situation would it be more important to know about weather
instead of climate

Answers

Answer:

Daily weather forecast or any kind of natural disaster

Explanation:

Climate is the pattern and state of weather conditions in a long period, spreading over few years. As such, it can tell us what kind of weather we can expect in a certain period of the year. The weather is dependent on climate.

Yet, climate can’t tell us the daily prognosis in detail. We might know certain periods in some locations mean a bigger chance of rainfall, but we do not know if we should bring the umbrella with us today. That is why we need weather – to tell us current weather and the one upcoming in the near future, so we can adapt to it.

This also goes for natural disasters. Climate can’t foresee if the natural disaster will hit some location at a certain moment in the long future, but weather tells us if something is coming soon and if we should prepare.

Precipitation in a deciduous forest can be in the form of rain or snow.

Answers

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

eThe deciduous forests are forests that are found in temperate climates. They are dominated by trees that are well adapted for life in conditions where there are changes of seasons, thus they are able to survive in both high and low temperatures, with inconsistent precipitation, shorter droughts, etc.

Because of the change of seasons where these forests are found, the precipitation is manifested in more than one way. During the warmer part of the year, the precipitation comes in the form of rain. During the colder part of the year, the precipitation comes in the form of snow. Occasionally, the precipitation can come in other forms as well, such as hale or frozen rain.
