You can see with the question alone that the plates involved is a oceanic and continental plate. With just that you can say that the answer is A. Another clue would be the <em>subduction</em><em />. This means that the plates converged, which makes it the type of boundary that occurred is <em>convergent. 

</em>
<em />The answer again is A. <em>

Answer:

A)continental-oceanic convergent

Explanation:

The convergent oceanic-continental boundary occurs when a collision occurs between an oceanic plate and a continental plate, as with the nazca ocean plate being subdivided below the South American continental plate. The result of this is the formation of a subduction zone, since the oceanic plate is heavier and ends up below the continental plate.

A lizard warms itself by lying on a warm rock. What is the main way thermal energy is transferred to the lizard from the rock?
trapecia [35]

Answer: The main way the thermal energy is transferred from the rock to the lizard is by conduction.

The lizard stretches out and warms itself by lying on a warm rock. The rock becomes warm as the sun transfers its thermal energy by radiation to the rock. The thermal energy to the lizard by the rock is transferred by direct contact through conduction. The air above the rock and the lizard also gets heated up and the heat is transferred through convection.

What is an invasive species?
Serga [27]

Answer:

An invasive species is an organism that causes ecological or economic harm in a new environment where it is not native.

Explanation:

Invasive species can harm both the natural resources in an ecosystem as well as threaten human use of these resources. An invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and other means.

Invasive species are capable of causing extinctions of native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can result in huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems.
