Volcanoes occur at underwater subduction zones. In fact, volcanoes form at most if not all types of subduction zones. Subduction zones are regions where tectonic plates collide and one plate bends and slides underneath the other plate. This bent plate reaches the mantle of the Earth, putting more pressure on the hot materials inside it.

What is the physical feature running east to west that separates Europe from Southwest Asia

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Caucasus Mountains separates Europe from SouthWest Asia.

Explanation:

Caucasus is mountain range that streches between Blask Sea and Caspian Sea in west-east direction. This range is politically located in parts of Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. It's highest point is Elbrus (5,642 m).

Caucasus is natural border between Asia and Europe. To the west border between mentioned continents runs over Black Sea, and in the opposite direction, over Caspian Sea.

Further to the west Europe and Asia are divided by Bosphorus, Sea of Marmara and Dardanelles.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, negative 3) and (negative 1, 5). What is the equation of the line parall

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

y=4x-16

Explanation:

The general form of the equation of a line is: y=mx+x, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given points (-3,-3) and (-1,5)

We are to find the equation of the line parallel to the given line with an x-intercept of 4.

First, we determine the value of the gradient of the line.

Gradient,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\=\frac{5-(-3)}{-1-(-3)} \\=\frac{5+3}{-1+3}\\=\frac{8}{2}\\m=4$

Two lines are parallel if their gradients $m_1 \: and \: m_2$ are equal.

The gradient of the line parallel to the given line $m_2=4$

Since the x-intercept of the new line is 4, a point on the new line, $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$

Substituting $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$ into the equation of a line: , $y-y_1=m(x-x_1),$ we have:

$y-0=4(x-4)\\$Therefore:\\y=4x-16$

Therefore, the equation of the line is: y=4x-16

In geology, the Radioactive dating is significant because its provides a significant source of information about the ages of fossils and the deduced rates of evolutionary change.

<h3>What is a Radioactive dating?</h3>

This refers to the technique that is used to know the date of materials such as rocks or carbon in which the trace radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when they were formed.

It determines the dating of rocks and minerals through the use of a radioactive isotopes, it is also useful for igneous and metamorphic rocks that cannot be dated by the stratigraphic correlation method.

As the carbon dating helps to determine the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of its radiocarbon, it is considered a poor tool for finding the age of the dinosaur skull in the purple layer because the collagen in the dinosaur's bone has usually long since decayed away and is therefore unavailable for radiocarbon dating.
