What occurs at underwater subduction zones

2 answers:

3 0

At underwater subduction zones,the oceanic and continential plate collides into one another. The denser plate would be subducted unsder the less dense plate.

At the subduction zones,submarine volcanoes or volcanoes would form as magma rise along the crack.
Under subduction,ocean trench would also be formed.
If it is an continential plate and oceanic plate subduction,fold mountain may be found.

Hope it helps!

Answer

<h2>Trenches</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation</h2>

A subduction zone is the largest wreck scene on Earth. These lines indicate the crash within two of the planet's tectonic plates. The plates are pieces of crust that slowly move across the planet's cover over millions of years. Where two tectonic plates meet, if one or both of the plates are oceanic lithosphere, a subduction zone will form. An oceanic plate will soak back into the mantle. Remember, oceanic plates are made from mantle material at midocean ranges.

Where along the 48 states is plate collision currently taking place?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Sometimes an entire ocean closes as tectonic plates converge, causing blocks of thick continental crust to collide. A collisional mountain range forms as the crust is compressed, crumpled, and thickened even more. The effect is like a swimmer putting a beach ball under his or her belly—the swimmer will rise up considerably out of the water. The highest mountains on Earth today, the Himalayas, are so high because the full thickness of the Indian subcontinent is shoving beneath Asia.

The Appalachian Mountains formed during a collision of continents 500 to 300 million years ago. In their prime they probably had peaks as high as those in the modern zone of continental collision stretching from the Himalayas in Asia to the Alps in Europe. But over the past 300 million years, the Appalachians have eroded to more modest heights.

Where would you look to find out how distances on a map compare to the actual distance on land

Leni [432]

The correct answer is - at the low left part of the map.

The maps have multiple elements, and one of those elements is the scale. The scale can be found on the lower part on the map, on the left side. It serves to give us the information about the distance on the map, in comparison to the actual distance in reality. This information can be shown either as unit to unit, or as measurement to measurement.

Example:

1:100,000

This means that one unit on the map, will be equal to 100,000 same units in actual distance. So 1 cm on the map, will be 100,000 cm in real life.
