What does the asthenosphere cause?
Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
What is the relatively soft layer of rock below the lithosphere?
The softer layer below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere begins at a depth of approximately 150 km. It has convection currents that arise from the heating and subsequent rising of material from the lower asthenosphere. These convection currents drive the movement of lithospheric plates at the surface, and are the cause of tectonic activity.
The failure of replicated chromosomes to separate is called?
The failure of replicated chromosomes to separate is called nondisjunction. This will cause extra or missing chromosomes in the daughter cells.
What is produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere and asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is the Earth's outermost crust. The asthenosphere is a ductile, somewhat deformable, layer 60-150 miles (100-250 km) below the Earth's surface, under the lithosphere. Movements between the two layers cause earthquakes.
How does nondisjunction cause Trisomy 21?
it can cause Trisomy 21 because an extra chromosome can be added.
What is the initial cause of magma formation in the asthenosphere beneath Yellowstone?
the role of asthenosphere in magma generetion
What does the asthenosphere cause?
Scientists speculate that the movement of tectonic plates is created by the movement of the rigid lithosphere on the asthenosphere.
What do convection currents in the asthenosphere cause?
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
What do dolphins have to keep them warm?
Cause of their extra skin called blubber.
Why can lithosphere plates drift or move?
convection currents cause movement in the asthenosphere
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
How do i deeply impress my subconcious?
Cause yourself pain.
Which of these cannot cause hallucinations?
inhaling and exhaling deeply
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
How does melanoma occur?
UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply and can cause melanoma in susceptible people. UVB rays, which don't penetrate as deeply, cause sunburn and wrinkling.
What do scientists believe in that cause hot plasticlike rock in the asthenosphere to rise toward Earth's surface?
density
