Along the Juan de Fuca Ridge, volcanoes produce oceanic crust. The Juan de Fuca Plate cools, grows denser, and finally sinks beneath the less dense North American Plate at the Cascadia Trench as it wanders eastward.

<h3>Is the Juan de Fuca Plate dying?</h3>

Because the decaying Juan de Fuca plate is not sinking silently, scientists have a unique opportunity to investigate such impacts. They are intently observing the system's every tremble and burp. (We learned that a strong earthquake broke a tectonic plate in half in this way.)

<h3>How Fast Is Juan de Fuca moving?</h3>

The Farallon Plate, a much bigger oceanic plate that originally existed alongside the smaller Juan De Fuca Plate, is moving east-northeast at a rate of 4 cm (1.6 inches) each year.

<h3>What is happening between the Gorda Plate and the Pacific Plate?</h3>

At a rate of 5 cm per year, the Pacific Plate is diverging from the Gorda Plate as it moves in a northwesterly direction. At a much slower rate of 2.5 to 3 cm per year, the Juan de Fuca Plate (which includes the Gorda Plate) is subducting beneath the North America Plate.

40) Which one of the following statements is believed to be true of comets? A) They have highly elliptical orbits around the Sun
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The correct statement for comet is - ( a ) They have highly elliptical orbits around the sun

Explanation:

The comet is made up by the composition of dust , water , ice , rock and frozen gases like , the carbon dioxide , methane , ammonia and carbon monoxide .

Comet shows a process called outgassing , i.e. , the comet passes close to the sun , then they start to release gases , which is visible in the form of a comet's tail .

The comet and its tail glows by the sun and becomes visible when the comet passes through the solar system , because the dust partials reflects sunlight directly and the gas glows due to ionization process.

The orbital of comet is usually highly eccentric elliptical path .

Culture has the ability fo shape three types of interactions for members of the group. Using four or more complete sentences, ex
galina1969 [7]
Interactions between group members
- interactions with people outside of the group
- interactions with the environment
Explanation:
The culture is the most powerful tool of any society. It is unique to each group, and it is what defines that group of people. The culture has the ability to shape up three types of interactions:
- interactions between group members
- interactions with people outside of the group
- interactions with the environment
The interactions between the group members are good in general, as they belong to the same culture and have lot of similarities. An example can be the interaction between two neighbors.
The interaction with people outside of the group can go either way though. If there are some similarities between the cultures then the people will most probably become close, but if there are big differences, it will most probably cause conflict. An example can be the interaction between a Catholic Mexican and Muslim Arab.
The interaction with the environment is crucial for any culture, and every culture has special and different interaction with it, depending on its characteristics. An example of this can be that the Celtic people considered the trees to sacred, and some trees such as the willow for forbidden for cutting as it was of highest rank.
