Melting happens in association with a subduction zone. What is going on to cause this? Group of answer choices

Geography
1 answer:
horrorfan [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

c. The downgoing slab takes along water, and that water lowers the temperature at which rock melts to allow melting in and near the slab.

Explanation:

A subduction zone occurs when one of the plates at convergent boundaries, an area where tectonic plates meet, is an oceanic lithosphere.  

These oceanic plates are high in temperature on formation but as they cool, they descend into the mantle below. This descent applies pressure until water is liberated from the lowering crust. The water in turn rises into the surrounding mantle and lowers the temperature at which the rocks melt to produce magma which are partly melted rocks.  

This liberation of water from the subducting crust and accompanying melting is responsible for the formation of almost all magma at subduction zones.

What are the three types of economies
Mkey [24]

[ Answer ]

1 - Command Economies

2 - Market Economies

3 - Tradition Economies

[ Explanation ]

Command Economies:

This is where production, investment and prices are all controlled and determined by the government. Command Economies are not controlled by free market. The Government decides how much a product should cost and what price they should be put for sale as.

Market Economies:

This is where the product prices and value are determined by the product keeper and/or seller. The seller decides how much they want to sell it for, not the Government. This also comes with supply and demand. Prices can increase or decrease as the seller wishes.

Tradition Economies:

This is where the economy relies on customs and history. They go by what has been done in the past and what has worked out before. Traditional Economies depend on farming, agriculture, fishing, and natural sources.

The equator runs north-south roughly through the middle of the continent of Africa. Answer
Bas_tet [7]
This is false, as the equator does not run north-south. The equators is the line that goes all around the planet in equal distance from the two poles: so it runs west-east.

It is true however that it runs roughly through the middle of the continent of Africa, but rather on the west-east axis.

Name the reason why languages become extinct.​
lesya [120]

Answer:

From a state of endangerment, many languages become extinct. When the speakers of a language are exterminated as what happened to Tasmanians in the 19th century, several languages suddenly died. Another reason for the extinction is the pressure exerted on a community to incorporate with a more powerful or larger group.
