Helena shares with her family her two goals for her senior year in college:
a) join a synchronized swim team and shoot a bald eagle.
b) helena's cousin anika is concerned about the utility of both of these goals and urges helena to spend the year looking for a job, promising, "if, upon graduation, you have secured a job, have refrained from synchronized swimming, and have not shot any bald eagles, i will give you $10,000."
c) helena immediately accepts the terms of the agreement and at graduation has met all three criteria, but anika refuses to pay.
what argument will be most for anika in court?

answer; i believe the correct answer is (general);

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)
