The answer is B. Divergent plate boundary.

Let's look into the choices one by one:

A. Subduction-This is false.

Under subduction force, the subduction plate boundary cause two plates to collide, and thee denser oceanic plate will subduct under the less dense continental plate, causing the plate to be melted in the mantle. As the plate boundary destroy the plate instead of creating new materials, this is false.

B. Divergent-This is correct.

Under the rising convection current of magma, the plates move apart from each other causing crack. The uprising magma would then fill the crack and cools down to form new plate material which adds to the lithosphere.

C. Collisional -This is false.

Collisional and Subduction plate boundary is actually the same,where the plates collide.As mentioned, this does not adds to the lithosphere.

D. Transform- This is false.

Transform plate boundary is where the plates slide past each other and no material is created or destroyed.

Therefore, the answer is B. Divergent plate boundary.

What role did social media play in politics in Iran in 2009?
Neko [114]

The social media in Iran, in 2009, as well as after that, has mostly been used for propaganda. The freedom of the social media, thus the freedom of speech too, are very limited, almost non-existent in Iran. The government holds strongly the social media and it decides what can go through and what not, with the majority of the content being focused around the government and positives about it, showing the opposition in bad light, and even more, showing the enemies of the country is evil and that they constantly plot something against them.

Describe the relationship between the level of service and the price of a hotel room?
dexar [7]

Answer:

The role of pricing on customer satisfaction has been largely ignored, however hospitality services are, for the most part produced by humans, and consequently, no two guest stays will be precisely alike.

However researches have been carried out suggesting that the variability in performance across different consumption experiences leads to increased uncertainty, and thus to decreased reliance on prior expectations, in such situation consumers tend to use price as a cue of performance expectations. Which makes it difficult to know customer satisfaction.

Meaning the relationship between the level of service and the price of hotel room is uncertain because know two human is alike.
