<span>Subduction is a process when two tectonic plates meet and one of the plates sinks below the level of the other into the mantle of the earth. Geographic features that are located at such "subduction zones" are deep sea ocean trenches, chains of active volcanoes, and places with consistent earthquakes.</span>

Explain how catalytic converters, Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) standards, and ethanol reduced air polluting emission
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Explanation:

Catalytic converters are used as an exhaust emission control device and are used to remove toxic gases and products by catalyzing the redox reactions.

The Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) standards were set of rules enacted in the USA to increase the efficiency of fuel engines and hence to reduce the emission rates .

The ethanol as compared to the conventional gasoline emits 50 per cent or lesser greenhouse gases to the environment .

Annotate around the image showing plate tectonic theory to explain how the continents drifted apart.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The crust broke up because of the convection currents, formed tectonic plates, and is slowly pushed on the surface until it collides with another plate and subducts.

Explanation:

This image gives us the basics of how the plate tectonics theory works. The material in the upper mantle is cooler and denser than the material in the lower mantle, so it drops down and it pushes the hotter and less dense material up. This creates a circular motion in the mantle, and this motion creates enormous pressure on the crust above it and breaks it up.

As the crust is broken up, magma is rising constantly for millions of years, so the new magma pushes the old solidified one further away. This also pushes two pieces of crust away from each other. As the crusts move away, they eventually collide with another plate, and either gradually merge with it, or a subduction zone is created. In the latter, the crust moves below another crust and into the mantle, where it gets melted and recycled.

For which of the following problems would growing and maintaining cover crops be an appropriate solution? (2 points)
algol13

Answer: I and II only

Explanation:

Cover crops are planted in order to protect the soil when the main cash crop is not being planted which means that they are not planted to be harvested and can be planted after the cash crop is harvested.

The two main purposes of cash crops are to protect the soil from erosion and to improve soil fertility. Their presence reduces surface runoff of soil when it rains and slows down rain before it hits the ground at force and splits soil.

Some cover crops are planted to improve soil fertility because they improve the level of nutrients in the soil and they can also be ploughed before they mature causing them to decay and add organic matter to the soil.
