7. hookup culture is a. likely to be embraced by those students who are religious b. highly interrelated with alcohol and other drug use c. the preferred relationship starter for female college students d. supported by parents and college administrators

b)

Explanation:

A hookup culture is a culture that accepts and encourages casual sex encounters, like one-night stands, without including emotional bonding or a long term commitment. A hookup can actually has many meanings that go from kissing to foreplay and oral sex. The main point in a hookup is the lack of emotional bonding or commitment.

According to different researches, this culture is highly interrelated with alcohol and other drug use, since the use of these substances can disinhibit sexual behaviors leading to hookups.

Thus, the correct answer would be b)

Note:

a) This culture is not likely to be embraced by religious students since religion often doesn't approve these kind of behaviors.

c) It doesn't have to do with gender, so it's not the preferred relationship started for female college students.

d) Since there are risks in this culture, it's not supported by parent and college administrators.  

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
