According to the theory of plate tectonics, the lithosphere is separated into sections that are called tectonic plates. These plates move in different directions in response to the forces in Earth’s mantle beneath them. Which of the following correctly matches the plate movement with its description? convergent boundary; plates move away from one another causing rift valleys and the formation of new crustal material

transform boundary; plates slide past one another in opposite directions causing the formation of faults and earthquakes

divergent boundary; as the plates come together gravity pushes the edge of one plate underneath the edge of a neighboring plate

subduction zone; as the plates come together increased pressure causes the plates to fault and fracture leading to the formation of mountains

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
