Oceanic crust or a less solid piece of oceanic crust will subduct beneath continental crust. Earthquakes occur when the oceanic plate subducts into a trench. Volcanoes are created by the melting of mantle material.

<h3>What does oceanic crust mean?</h3>

The outermost part of the Earth's lithosphere, known as oceanic crust, is created at spreading centres on oceanic ridges that are found at divergent plate boundaries and is found beneath the oceans. The oceanic crust is roughly 4 miles (6 km) thick. Even without the sediment on top, it is made up of many layers.

<h3>What is a characteristic of oceanic crust?</h3>

Why must most antibiotics be given some time to take effect on a disease-causing population of bacteria?
Eva8 [605]
The correct answer is d. "Regeneration" means "forming new cells," and signifies that the disease-causing bacteria cells are multiplying. When there are more of these cells, there is a higher chance for antibiotic resistance (making it take longer for the antibiotics to work). Once there is a smaller concentration of these bacterial cells, the antibiotics become more effective.
