Answer: 1 - Convergent Continental-Continental boundary

              2 - Convergent Oceanic-Oceanic boundary

              3 - Convergent Oceanic-Continental boundary

Explanation:

When two continental plates collides, then sandwich pattern takes place, forming the great Himalaya. For example, the formation of the Himalaya due to the collision between Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate.

When two oceanic plates collides, it creates a subduction zone and volcanic island arcs are created. For example, the Mariana island.

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate gets subducted beneath the less denser continental plate, forming the continental volcanic arcs. For example, the San Andes mountain.

Thus, the correct answers to the given questions are mentioned above.

Answer - 
1. <span>Convergent continental-continental boundary.
2. Convergent oceanic-oceanic boundary.
3. Convergent oceanic-continental boundary.
(Confidently Correct)

Reason -
Each different reasoning for
1.Its continental boundary is because its crashing into each other like a collision forming the Himalayas.
2.The lithosphere is pushing down where as the other side is acting on it making it go and move down.
3. This type of oceanic and oceanic boundary is one place is moving upward where as the other one is moving down.

Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to __ or__ electrons when they react.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to gain or share electrons when they react.

Explanation: Non-metals are elements that gain electron to form negatively charged ions known as anions.

When non-metals react, they either gain/accept electron from a metal atom or share electron with another non-metal atom. When a non-metal accepts an electron from a metal atom, the type of bond formed is called ionic or electrovalent bond. In electrovalent bond, the metal atom transfers its valence electrons to the non-metal atom so that both attain a stable octet or duplet structure.

When a non-metal shares electron with another non-metal atom, the type of bond formed is known as covalent bond. In covalent bond, the two non-metal atoms share a pair of electron, each atom donating one electron to form a pair.
