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.

Hope it helps!

I would say such a mountain range can be named a cordillera such as the Western Cordillera of both North and South America which occurs mostly just east of subduction zones and a result of the oceanic crust being pushed under the continental crust with subsequent uplift and sometimes the formation of volcanoes.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Rect. Prism SA= 251. 75ft²

Cube SA= 8664in²

Cube SA= 6a²

Explanation:

SA= 2(lh+wh+lw)

Cube SA= 6a²

Rect. Prism SA

Assuming length(l)=11.5, width(w)=3.25 and height(h)=6

SA=2(lh+wh+lw)

=2(11.5×6+3.25×6+11.5×3.25)

=2(69+19.5+37.325)

=2×125.875

=251.75ft² (rounding is optional if you like)

Cube SA

SA=6a² (<em>a</em><em> </em><em>referring</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>edges</em><em>/</em><em>sides</em><em>)</em><em> </em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em>=6× 38²

=6×1444

=8664in²

Hope this helped.
