Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The convection current generates in the mantle, that forms when the hot magma being less denser rises up towards the upper portion of the mantle. This uprising magma force the plates to move over the asthenosphere layer.

The downward part of the convection current causes a force that allows the plates to sink. This sinking force leads to the formation of the convergent plate boundary, where two plates collide with one another and the denser plate gets subducted below the less denser plate. This type of plate boundary is often marked by the presence of a trench and volcanic as well as island arcs are formed.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

I believe that the answer to this question is B because of the fact that convection can pull the plate tectonics away from, grind against, or go above each other! I hope that you post many more questions on brainly and for more info on plate tectonics comment and I'll let you know more!

How do secondary consumers help the ecosystem?<br><br> Please help ASAP
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

First off, we need to establish what secondary consumers are. Primary consumers are all herbivores; they eat the producers. The secondary consumers are on the next trophic level up; they eat the primary consumers. They thus help to control the level/number of primary consumers; otherwise, the number of primary consumers would grow too high, and the producers would all be WIPED OUT.

Now, you may be wondering what controls the amount of secondary consumers? The answer is tertiary consumers. What controls the tertiary consumers? At this point, energy does the job of limiting the population. As you move up trophic levels in an ecosystem, the amount of energy in each trophic level goes down by 90%. So like if you started w/ 1000000 joules of energy in the producer level, that would be 100000 in the primary, 10000 in the secondary, and only 1000 in the tertiary.
