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.

Why is it necessary to model the concept above?

aniked [119]

Answer:

You did not write the concept, so i will try to answer in a general way.

Why sometimes we really need to model concepts?

Well, sometimes the things are really complicated, or we just do not have the knowledge or tools to fully understand them.

Here is where the models came to be handy, we can somewhat "simplify" the things, and explain them with models.

For example, the movement of a particle as the wind pushes it can be really complex, so this can only be explained with a model.

Now, once we have a model (supported by theory and experiments) we can start to investigating furthermore in the given subject.

So for example, we could model how a given therapy acts on a given disease, and with that model, we could extrapolate the effects of the therapy in a similar disease (for example, testing how radiotherapy acts on a given tumor in some organ, can give information on how the same therapy can act on other types of tumors)

Concluding, models simplify some concepts, which allow us to understand them and work better with them

How can mutations change the gene pool of a population?

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The changes in the gene pool occurs from the one generation to another this process is called as the microevolution. The allele frequencies in the gene pool change due to many processes such as gene flow, natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation. In mutation the genetic variations occurs in the genome of the organisms due to change in the genetic makeup of the organisms new traits are produced which are passed on to the new generation and this brings change in diversity of genes in the gene pool.
