A convergent-plate boundary to the west of North America caused oceanic crust to be subducted, causing collisions with microcontinents and the partial melting of oceanic crust to create the Sierran volcanic arc.

<h3>Give an explanation of the plate tectonic conditions that led to the formation of the Sevier thrust belt and the Sierran arc. During the Laramide orogeny, what happened?</h3>

A convergent-plate boundary to the west of North America caused oceanic crust to be subducted, which led to collisions with microcontinents and the partial melting of oceanic crust that produced the Sierran volcanic arc. Compression was responsible for the arc's folds and thrust faults. As opposed to earlier orogenies that just established the more superficial faults of the fold-thrust belts behind the arc, faulting associated with the Laramide orogeny was responsible for the creation of the Rocky Mountains. The Sevier-style orogeny may have changed as a result of the subducting slab's shallowing dip.

Tommy and Erin are building a skateboard ramp. They want the ramp to be 3 feet tall and 5 feet long.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Full question is attached.

Tommy's reasoning is wrong because the hypotenuse is not 5 feet.

A skateboard ramp resembles a right angles triangle so its sides resemble that of a right angled triangle.

The height of 3 feet would be the height of the triangle.

The length of 5 feet would be the length of the triangle.

The piece of plywood that would cover the top of the frame would be the hypotenuse.

In using the Pythagoras rule, the c is the hypotenuse but Tommy made the mistake of assuming that the hypotenuse was b which is where the error came from.

Instead of solving for b, they should have been solving for c which is the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

3² + 5² = c²

9 + 25 = c²

c² = 34

c = √34

c = 5.83 feet

They should use a plywood of 5.83 feet not 4 feet.
