Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced to sink due to gravity into the mantle. Regions where this process occurs are known as subduction zones. Deep trenches are often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common.
Hope this helps :)

How much of Earth’s water is freshwater?
AlekseyPX

Explanation:

3% of the earth's water is fresh. 2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost. 0.5% of the earth's water is available fresh water.4 nov. 2020

ALGEBRA:Chase rides his bike 5 miles to school in 25 minutes. The relationship between the distance he rides and the time it tak
bezimeni [28]

(D) Distance traveled by Chase on bike = 5 miles

(T) Time taken by Chase to travel that distance = 25 minutes

D and T are directly related.

Part A (Equation)

Since, D and T are directly related,

⇒ D ∝ T (i.e. D is directly proportion to T)

⇒ D = k × T (using k as constant variation, as suggested in the question)

So the equation that represents the relation between T and D is D = k × T.

Part B (Value and units for k)

When we put the values of T and D in the equation D = k × T, we get:

5 = k × 25

Solving the above equation and moving 25 to the Left Hand Side (LHS) of the equation

⇒ 5 ÷ 25 = k

⇒ 0.2 = k OR

⇒ k = 0.2

Hence, value of k is 0.2. This is the rate at which Chase drove his bike to school.

Now, to determine the unit of k we will simply put the units of D and T in the equation.

⇒ 5 miles = k × 25 minutes

⇒ 0.2 miles/minute = k OR

⇒ k = 0.2 miles/minute

Hence, the unit for k is miles/minute or miles per minute.

Part C (Time taken to ride 8 miles)

Now, if Chase drives his bike at the same rate every day, i.e. at 0.2 miles/minute, then we need to determine how much time he takes to ride 8 miles. Putting the values of k and D in the equation:

⇒ 8 = 0.2 × T

⇒ T = 40 minutes

So, Chase would take 40 minutes to cover a distance of 8 miles.
