Which of the following is an aspect of iron triangles?
fluid participation among interests
a great deal of competition for access to decision-makers
a symbiotic relationship among congressional committees, executive agencies, and interest groups
three interest groups that have formed a coalition

A symbiotic relationship among  Congressional committees, executive  agencies, and interest groups.

Explanation:

Iron triangle is a United States political term used to describe the relationship between congressional committees, bureaucracy, and interest groups when a decision needs to be made between the three.

In the iron triangle, Congress, bureaucracy and interest groups establish a partnership relationship, where each seeks to protect and benefit each other, and to assist each other in their policies and objectives. For this reason, the correct answer to your question is:  "a symbiotic relationship among  Congressional committees, executive  agencies, and interest groups."

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)
