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.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Definition: U-shaped valleys form through glacial erosion. Glaciation develops in established v-shaped river valleys where the ice erodes the surrounding rocks to create a “U” shaped valley with a flat bottom and steep sides. Glacier movement is driven by gravity

1) A view of database that appears to an application program is known as : a) schema b) message c) virtual table d) none of abov
OleMash [197]

Answer: D) None of the above

Explanation: The subschema differs from the schema in that one denotes the appearance of data in the Database Base Management System (DBMS) while the subschema which is also referred to as the external schema is that subset of the schema is visible or relevant to the user. Thus, It is the view of the database which is visible to an application program. Virtual tables in a database usually represents an object structures like a table which is the result of running certain database commands or functions such as the create table, view, select and so on. Virtual tables are not stored directly in database files.

Wany words does that message have?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

  (4, 3)

Explanation:

<u>Short answer</u>: when the coordinates are on horizontal and vertical lines, as these are, each coordinate value is used twice. Already, x=0 is used twice, as is y=0, so the missing coordinate is x=4, y=3.

The fourth vertex is (4, 3).

_____

<u>Longer answer</u>: The midpoints of the diagonals are the same point, so for rectangle ABCD, we have ...

  (A+C)/2 = (B+D)/2

Solving for D, we find ...

  D = A +C -B

In clockwise order, the points given are ...

  A = (4, 0), B = (0, 0), C = (0, 3)

so we have ...

  D = (4, 0) +(0, 3) -(0, 0) = (4+0-0, 0+3-0)

  D = (4, 3) . . . . the coordinates of the fourth vertex.
