When two plates form a subduction zone, which plate will subduct

Biology
1 answer:
Lemur [1.5K]3 years ago
6 0

The denser plate

Explanation:

When two plates forms a subduction zone, the denser plate will subduct and dive into the underlying mantle below.

Subduction zone occurs along a convergent margin when two plates of different densities collides.

  • When two plates of different densities collides, the denser plates subduct.
  • This is because the density of the mantle below is less than its own density.
  • Most times, oceanic plates usually subduct during plate convergence.
  • Oceanic plates are denser compared to continental plates.

2. The group with the longest stem has been around the longest: fish

3. A direct common ancestor will share the same immediate line, like marsupials and eutherians. Fish and marsupials do not have a common direct ancestor.
