Also, the order above is the correct order of the <span>amount of desertification among river basins in south america. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
When two tectonic plates push towards each other, one continental, and another oceanic, the oceanic plate is subducting under the continental plate. This is due to the fact that the oceanic plates's crust is weaker and has lesser density, while the continental is stronger and has bigger density, so when pushing against each other, the weaker, less dense, oceanic plate can not oppose the stronger, more dense, continental plate and slowly subducts under it.
A. at least I think it is
The given information is expressed in ratio. However, a ratio is basically a fraction. So, 4:10 is just equal to 4/10 or 2/5 in simplified terms. Similarly, 12:20 is just equal to 12/20 or 6/5 in simplified terms. The smaller ratio is 2/5 because the numerator is less than the denominator. So, it follows that the answer is less than 1. The other ratio has a much greater numerator. So, we would expect that that would be greater than 1.
