Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: There was more accretion in the past because there was more radioactive decay in the past. When the Earth was younger, there were more unstable radioactive isotopes that were going through the decay process. The radioactive decay would provide the heat necessary for convection. So, with more isotopes and more decay, more heat would be produced. More heat produced means more convection, which means faster plate motion.
