Answer:

Explanation:

Discontinuities are changes that seismic waves present in their trajectory and speed because the properties of the medium they pass through become different. That is what has allowed geologists and geophysicists to know the internal structure of the planet and deduce its composition.

Specifically, the discontinuity represented by the end of the crust and the passage to the upper mantle is the Mohorovicic discontinuity, or as it is briefly called the Moho.

The depth at which it is found varies greatly because the thickness of the crust is very different depending on whether it is oceanic crust (about 7 km) or continental crust (up to 100 km under the great mountain ranges).

never [62]

Answer:

- mantle plumes

- continental arcs

- island arcs

Explanation:

The volcanic activities are very important for the planet, its physical features, composition of the atmosphere, climate. They can be found at the boundaries of the plates or near the boundaries of the plates, on land, in sea, or on the seafloor. The mantle plumes are the ones that give rise to the volcanoes, as they are the ones that propel magma from the mantle to the surface of the Earth. As mentioned, the volcanoes mostly form at and near the boundaries of the plates, and they usually create island arcs or continental arcs, depending on the type of boundary and where the magma will be able to penetrate the most easily.

Describe each plate boundary – transform, convergent, divergent. How do the plates move at each of these, what happens, and what
Ierofanga [76]
Transform: The plates slide past each other, one going forwards, the other going back, kind of grinding each other. A Transform Boundary is also a fault, so it causes Earthquakes mostly.
Convergent: When two plates collide with each other. They form subduction mostly and trenches. They can also create volcanoes or volcanic islands.
Divergent: When two boundaries move away from each other. They form rift valleys, mountain ranges
