The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and
sastatic adjustments. which is not true about the role of the asthenosphere in plate tectonics?
the asthenosphere is broken up into seven very large continental- and
ocean sized plates
convection currents generated within the asthenosphere push magma
upward through volcanic vents and spreading centers to create new crust.
heat from deep within earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere
malleable, lubricating the undersides of earth's tectonic plates and
allowing them to move
according to the theory of plate tectonics, the asthenosphere is the
repository for older and denser parts of the lithosphere that are dragged
downward in subduction zones

1. the passing of is the basis of heredity. 2. our encode the instructions that define our traits. 3. each of us has thousands of genes, which are made of and reside in our chromosomes. 4. in addition to our genes, the we live in also define our traits. 5. humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. 6. when parents conceive a child, each parent contributes set of chromosomes. 7. every child receives of its chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. 8. this transfer takes place at when the father’s sperm joins the mother’s egg. 9. while most cells in our bodies have two sets of chromosomes, or a total of egg and sperm each have chromosomes. 10. when egg and sperm unite they create a single cell called a 11. each parent contributes complete set of chromosomes to their child. 12. since the parents contribute the chromosomes to each new child, every child inherits a unique set of chromosomes. 13. as a result, every baby will have a combination of traits.

Identify characteristics of energy from the sun. check all that apply. almost all of the energy on earth comes from the sun. energy from the sun is known as mechanical energy. the energy in fossil fuels originally came from the sun. plants convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy.

4. if a cell is placed inside a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than on the inside of the cell, what can be said about the movement of water? a. water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrivel. b. water will move in and out of the cell at the same rate. c. water will move out of the cell, causing it to swell. d. water will move into the cell, causing it to swell.
