The correct answer is B Subduction. Subduction is the process by which an oceanic plate gets dragged under another plate and is eventually destroyed in the mantle. Subduction occurs at convergent margins where two oceanic plates collide or an oceanic and Continental plate collide. Oceanic crust is made of mainly of silica and magnesium which is heavier or denser than continental crust which is composed mainly of silica and aluminium.
The subducting plate melts producing excess magma giving rise to volcanoes along these margins.

Cowbirds have a parasitic relationship with other bird species. Which change in a limiting factor would decrease the carrying ca
atroni [7]
A limiting factor is something in a ecosystem that limits the growth of a species. In this case, cowbirds are limiting factors to wood thrushes because they lay eggs in the nests of wood thrushes, which is called "nest parasitism." A decrease in the carrying capacity—the number of living organisms that a region can support (without environmental degradation)—of wood thrushes could be caused by a decrease in the insect population size. The less insects, the less food. With less resources, the carrying capacity will decrease for wood thrushes. If the cowbird population were decreased, or the space or number of nesting sites were increased, the carrying capacity would increase, instead.
