Plate tectonics is characteristic of the earth but not the moon

Explanation:

Tectonic plate movements in Earth are forced by convection in the mantle-the hard mantle transits at rates of a some centimeters a year. The Moon’s mantle, too cool to travel easily, has no convection and no moving tectonic plate motions. More uncommon movements inside the Moon indicate fewer quakes. The few moonquakes that do happen are made fundamentally by gravitational tugs by Earth and Sun ).

The quantity and intensity (magnitude) of moonquakes is much less than the quantity and consequence of earthquakes. The feasible reason of this discrepancy is the Moon's smaller size and cooler interior. Earth is hot and active, manifested most dramatically in plate tectonics. The secret of plate tectonics is that the Earth has gaps between the continents, and so they can move around like a sliding block puzzle.

i am going to guess that it is co2.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
