Convergent plate boundaries are characteristic of B) collision zones between plates.

The place where the plate sinks is called the subduction zone. The type of convergence that occurs between the plates (sometimes called a very slow "collision") depends on the type of lithosphere involved.

The collision zone occurs when two continental plates move toward each other and collide. The land between the plates is forced upwards to form a fold. B. Alps and Himalayas.

The subduction zone is also created when two oceanic plates collide, pushing the old plate under the young plate to form a chain of volcanic islands known as island arcs.

During El Niño, what happens to the coastal marine ecosystems near Peru? They thrive. Their productivity increases. They collaps
agasfer [191]

Answer:

<u>1. Their productivity increases, 2. increased friction with the land surface, 3. They intensify, 4. It increases evaporation.</u>

Explanation:

  • When the El Nino a southern oscillation reaches the Peru coast it upwells warm water and which is beneficial to the fishes and marine life. As the upper water planktons depend on this nutrient-rich water and thus thrive and increase in productivity.
  • Its a fact that the cyclones drive their energy from the warm moisture supply of water from the oceans and seas and when they make a landfall they collapse and they can't move to the interior as the friction a force and the number of energy decreases and thus they fall.
  • When the tropical cyclones form in the warm waters they intensify and grow bigger in size and thus move further quickly.
  • As the sea sprays are salts that are ejected from the oceans they are a process of heat transfer and intensify the formation if a cyclone, transferring heat, momentum, and moisture into the air.

PLZ HURY ON A TIMER Which statements explain what happens at deep-ocean trenches? Check all that apply.
Marat540 [252]
The answer are: mountains are formed, crust become molten rock and denser plates slides under lighter plates.

Let's look into the options one by one:

Crust is formed.

-This is in correct.

-At the ocean trench, plates subducts and were destroyed. No process of construction occurs as it is located at a destructive plate boundary.

Mountains are formed.

- This is correct.

- As it is located in the destructive plate bondary, two plates collide and create compressional force. The lighter continential will be compressed and foldes up to form fold mountains. One of the examples is the Rocky Mountain.

Seafloor spreading occurs.

-This is incorrect.

- Seafloor spreading occurs at constructive plate boundaries, however ocean trench occurs at destructive plate boudary and thus seafloor spreading does not take place.

Crust becomes molten rock.

- This is correct.

- When ocean trench is formed, denser oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate and meets the hot magma. The crust material will then melt under high temperature and become molten rock.

Denser plates slide under lighter plates.

- This is correct.

- At deep ocean trenches, denser oceanic plate slide under the lighter continential plate as it is located the destructive plate boundary.

It might not be on time, but I hope it helps explain the question. :)
