Question

tectonic plates, part of the lithosphere, are carried along on top of the asthenosphere (upper mantle) due to the rise and fall of magma and rocks within the mantle. complete this sequence of events: radioactive decay → heat circulation → plate movement → ______ choose the one answer that does not apply. a earthquake b volcanic eruption c sea floor spreading d layering of sediments

Explanation:

Plate movement can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and sea - floor spreading. Layering of sediments is mainly related to processes like deposition, erosion, and sediment transport, not directly to plate movement as a direct consequence in the given sequence.

Answer:

D. layering of sediments
