The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by
A) solidification in the lithosphere
B) density differences in the troposphere
C) convection currents in the asthenosphere
D) tidal motions in the hydrosphere

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

layers of the earths crust

The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by convection currents in the asthenosphere. Option (c) is correct.

What do you mean by Asthenosphere?

The asthenosphere is a solid portion of the upper mantle that is so heated that it can flow and behave like plastic. The asthenosphere supports the lithosphere. The asthenosphere can flow like toothpaste despite being solid. The topmost concentric layers of our globe are the asthenosphere and lithosphere.

Convection currents are created by the intense heat and pressure that exists within the earth. The tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust move as a result of these currents.

Therefore, Option (c) is correct. The movement of tectonic plates is inferred by many scientists to be driven by convection currents in the asthenosphere.

Areas near sea level enjoys moderate temperature whereas, areas situated far have higher temperature. Do you agree/disagree with the above mentioned statement? Justify your answer with two logical reasons..

Answers

Answer:

Yes , I agree

Explanation:

Areas near sea level enjoys moderate temperature whereas, areas situated far have higher temperature.

This is because;

1. Water have high heat capacity than the soil and this make it to take long time to heat up and cool which make areas near it have moderate temperature and transfer of cook air.

2. Air that is around areas near water will be much cooler from transfer of energy between water and air, while air that circulate above areas far from water will heat up much more quickly. Therefore, areas near water have more moderate temperature because water is nearby to regulate the temperature and keep it more constant.
