The Lithospheric Plates Are Believed To Be Moving Slowly. What Is The Driving Force That Facilitates This Movement?, A. Gravitational Force Of The Moo

The lithospheric plates are believed to be moving slowly. What is the driving force that facilitates this movement?

a. gravitational force of the moon
b. magnetic force at the poles
c. convection current in the mantle
d. the force of the atmosphere

 

Answer:

The correct answer is letter c. convection current in the mantle.

Explanation:

The driving force that facilitates the movement of the lithospheric plates to move slow is the convection current in the mantle. Convection current is the process by which less dense material rises and more dense material sinks. Mantle convection is considered as the slow movement of Earths solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface. Earths surface lithosphere, which rides atop the asthenosphere. The typical mantle convection speed is 20 mm/yr near the crust but can vary quite a bit and the small scale convection in the upper mantle is much faster than the convection near the core. A single shallow convection cycle takes on the order of 50 million years, though deeper convection can be closer to 200 million years. Code 10.22.1.2.

Thank You   Uh, just make the thing im about to give you and make it longer using your own words and your own research :) Anyways.. The importance of ICT to the Philippines. ICT(Information and Communications Technology) is a valuable tool that can be used for the economic development of the country. And in a region where other countries are already ahead in using ICT to their benefit, we are still struggling to make effective used of it. ICT is one of the economic development pillars to gain national competitive advantage.

Deforestation And The Burning Of Fossil Fuels Have Impacted Global Temperatures And Increased Atmospheric Co2 Levels. How Has This Affected Ocean Curr

Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels have impacted global temperatures and increased atmospheric CO2 levels. How has this affected ocean currents and acidified the ocean? What are some consequences of ocean acidification?   Answer & Explanation: It affects our seawater by making it more acidic and causes carbonated ions to be relatively less abundant because our ocean absorbs 30% of CO2 in the atmosphere and when the level of CO2 increases, the CO2 in the ocean also increases which results to a series of chemical reactions that increases the production of hydrogen ions. Ocean acidification may lead to the destruction of marine life because the increase in the acidity of the seawater makes it harder for corals to build it skeletons which is particularly important beacuse they provide a home for many other sea creatures.
