ina has been onboard the research vessel Gustavo, off the coast of Chile, for several weeks now. She is measuring the depth of a

very deep trench in the ocean that runs parallel to the coastline. In the distance, she notes a great mountain range on the mainland. Suddenly, she is notified that a submarine earthquake just occurred below the trench, generating a tsunami. As Marina puts on her lifejacket, she recalls the type of plate boundary nearby that led to the trench formation.

The correct answer is - convergent plate boundary.

The western coast of South America is a home to a convergent plate boundary, between the Nazca oceanic tectonic plate and the South American continental tectonic plate.

The Nazca plate is lower and heavier, thus it subducts bellow the higher and lighter South American plate. This subduction is causing a lot of geologic activity in the region, with the Andes Mountain Range being one of the products, as well as the common earthquakes, and the volcanic activity.

Since there's often earthquakes that appear under water, the chances of a tsunami are always high, especially if it is a stronger earthquake, which is why the people living in this part of the continent are always on alert.

Which of the following is an example of an outdated theory based on the consensus of the scientific community ? A. Big Bang
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

B. Geocentric solar system

Explanation:

The scientific community is the one that accepts or dismisses theories. Some theories are accepted, and that is because there are enough evidence that support them, while some theories are dismissed as they have been proven over time that they are not correct.

One of the theories that is outdated and has been dismissed by the scientific community is the theory of the geocentric solar system. This theory has been in place and widely accepted for a very long time, pretty much two millenniums.

This theory was basically suggesting that the Earth is the center of the solar system. The Sun, Moon, all the other planets that were known, as well as the stars, were all orbiting around the Earth. This has been proven as wrong (except that the Moon is orbiting around Earth), and that the theory is far away from the truth, so naturally once there were enough evidence it was dismissed.
