Oceanic  crust is denser / thinner than continental crust so the denser oceanic  crust is going to bend and get pulled under the thicker/stronger continental crust.

When two plates of oceanic crust collide it can result in earthquakes and can potentially cause a tsunami if powerful enough. The crust can separate and subduction can occur.

mezya [45]

Answer:

Ocean currents bring nutrient-rich water into coastal regions.

Explanation:

About 70 percent of our planet is covered by water. The earth has been declared a "blue planet" because it looks blue from space. About 96 percent of this water is the sea or salt water, made up of the ocean that covers the Earth.

Within these oceans, there are many different types of habitats or environments inhabited by plants and animals, from the freezing of polar ice to tropical coral reefs. Most marine life is found in coastal habitats.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: two types of macromolecules: nucleic acid and protein

Explanation:

Chromosomes particularly eukaryotic chromosomes are made up of nucleic acids in particular DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and some proteins which include histone proteins and non histone protein that helps in the packaging of an almost 2m DNA into a very tiny 0.6microm nucleus. The histone protein includes H2A, H2B, H3, H4 which forms an octamer around which the DNA is wrapped (structure of a nucleosome) and linker histone H1 joined to a linker DNA that links two nucleosomes.

Define and describe osmosis​
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Movement of a solvent (such as water) into a solution with a higher solvent concentration by means of a semi-permeable membrane (as from a live cell), which tends to equal solute concentrations in the membrane on both sides.

Explanation:

Osmosis, the spontaneous transition, distribution, or diffusion of water and other solvents over a semipermeable membrane. In 1877, a German physiologist, Wilhelm Pfeffer, researched the process, which is important in biology.

Osmosis is the passage of water down its concentration gradient, across a semi-permeable membrane. An everyday example is a plastic wrap in your kitchen: it allows air and water vapor to move across it, but no water or food. The membranes of cells are semi-permeable, too.
