16. Which process(es) cause(s) thick sediment layers to accumulate along the boundaries of continental
taurus [48]

<u>Answer: </u>

The process of thick sediment layers to "accumulate" along the "boundaries of continental and oceanic plates" is called Subduction.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • During a marine transgression, sea level raises high compared to land level resulting in floods. These are triggered during climate changes, ice-age, isostatic movements.
  • Subduction occurs at the tectonic plates where one plate is moves under another forcing to sink into Earth’s mantle due to the gravitational force.
  • The plates are continental and oceanic in the zone of lithosphere. The rate of subduction is usually seven to 8 centimetres per year.
  • Marine regressions are opposite to transgressions where sea levels fall compared to land levels.
  • Glaciation is the interval of time within an ice-age. The current glacier period is of Holocene.

Which of the following statements about the government and society of the United Arab Emirates is false?
liberstina [14]
A. The law includes the presumption of innocence and the freedom of speech and religion. The UAE constitution is influenced from Sharia law and though the freedom to exercise one's religion is generally tolerable, any criticism of the government, royal family, police and/or authority will be severely punished, making freedom of speech highly regulated in the country. Gender equality is also emphasized and women are allowed to serve in higher positions of government along with their male counterparts.
