Choose the correct description of the conveyor-like action of plate tectonics on earth
a - earth's mantle is broken up into plates that float beneath the overlying lithosphere. the bottoms of the mantle's convection cells drag the tops of the plates, making them move. this movement causes spreading in some places and subduction in others.
b - earth's lithosphere is broken up into plates that float beneath the overlying mantle. the bottoms of the mantle's convection cells drag the tops of the plates, making them move. this movement causes spreading in some places and subduction in others.
c - earth's lithosphere is broken up into plates that float on the underlying mantle. the tops of the mantle's convection cells drag the bottoms of the plates, making them move. this movement causes spreading in some places and subduction in others.
d - earth's mantle is broken up into plates that float on the underlying lithosphere. the tops of the mantle's convection cells drag the bottoms of the plates, making them move. this movement causes spreading in some places and subduction in others.

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?

Aballoon is rising vertically upwards at a velocity of 10m/s. when it is at a height of 45m from the ground, a parachute bails out from it. after 3s he opens his parachute and decelerates ata a constant rate 5m/s.when. (a) what was the height of the parachutist above the ground when he opened his parachute? (b)how far is the parachutist from the balloon at t=3s? (c)with what velocity does the parachutist hit the ground? (d)after how long does the parachutist hit the ground after his exist from the balloon?
