The CN tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.
~Hello there!
Your question: Which mountains were formed as a result of oceanic-continental convergence?
Your answer: Andes is the mountain that was formed as a result of oceanic- continental convergence.
Any queries?
Happy Studying!
The shockwave from an undersea earthquake causes 'ripples' in the ocean which are very large swells. When the bottom of the swell touches land, it must build up higher to maintain it's size. Therefore when it approaches the beach, water is drawn away from the beach to compensate for the ocean depth getting shallower under the tsunami swell. More water is drawn from in front of the swell than behind due to the movement of the swell.
Slowly, deep underground
The igneous rock gabbro is coarse grained and non-vesicular. Both characteristics show that it is an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below Earth's surface and slowly (because they're underground). When rocks are intrusive, they are are non-vesicular (no air pockets) because the air has had the time to escape because of the slow cooling time period. Intrusive rocks are also coarse because crystals had the time to form in the rock during that longer cooling time.
Ps. extrusive igneous rocks form rapidly at Earth's surface and basically have tge opposite characteristics for the opposite reasons (ex: vesicular cause air had little time to escape)
The temperature decreases in the mesosphere since there is no ozone and the amount of air is decreasing.
I hope that this helps :)
