Oceanic lithosphere is the main material being subducted at an ocean-continent convergent boundary.

  • There are two types of lithosphere: oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere.
  • Oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust, and is slightly denser than continental lithosphere. Plate Tectonics. The most well-known feature associated with Earth's lithosphere is tectonic activity.
  • At an ocean-continent convergent boundary, the denser oceanic plate is pushed under the less dense continental plate in the same manner as at an ocean-ocean boundary. Subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate under North America created the Cascade Range.
  • Oceanic crust may collide with a continent. The oceanic plate is denser, so it undergoes subduction. This means that the oceanic plate sinks beneath the continent. This occurs at an ocean trench . Subduction zones are where subduction takes place.

Explanation: An elliptical orbit is said to be formed when object revolves around another in an oval-shaped path known as an ellipse. The planets in our solar system orbit around the sun in elliptical orbits.

The different planets have their different distances from the sun which affects, their climate and determines if life can exist in them.

Many man made satellites orbit the Earth in elliptical orbits, so also does the moon. Generally, most objects and satellites in outer space travel in an elliptical orbit.

Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

More than a billion years ago, for instance, the North American plate began a rifting process. A triple junction formed in the middle of the young continent, and a deep rift valley developed. Freshwater drained and collected in this rift valley, creating a lake.
