Grouping practices for reading instruction play a critical role in facilitating effective implementation of both reading instruction and inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classes.
What drives the process of plate tectonics. Tectonic plates are pieces of the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere. The plates are around 100 km thick and consist of two principal types of material: oceanic crust and continental crust. The composition of the two types of crust differs markedly, with basaltic rocks dominating oceanic crust, while continental crust consists principally of lower density granitic rocks.
How does the movement of tectonic plates contribute to the rock cycle? The forces that move tectonic plates push deep rocks up to Earth's surface, and also push rocks at Earth's surface down to great depths. Tectonic plate motion may also lead to volcanic activity. What role do heat and pressure play in the rock cycle?
