What processes found at a convergent boundary will help form the following rock? Sedimentary Rocks:

Biology
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

At many convergent boundaries a subduction zone is formed which drives crust down toward the mantle where the rock is melted and turned to igneous rock.

Explanation:

Where an oceanic crust meets a continental crust at a convergent boundary the oceanic crust is subducted under the continental crust. As the oceanic crust is driven down the friction, pressure and heat of the mantle melts the oceanic crust. The melted crust become igneous rock and often comes to surface in volcanos found near the convergent boundary.

The melted crust that doesn't reach the surface becomes igneous granite while the melted crust that does reach the surface becomes lava.

The question unanswered is how thick layers of oceanic crust ends up on the continents when what is observed today is the destruction of oceanic crust at subduction zones, due to convergent boundaries.

liq [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, 2,4,6,1,5,3.

Explanation:

With the approaching of sound waves, ear pinna mediates it towards the external auditory canal, this makes sound waves to reach the tympanic membrane. This results in the vibration of the tympanic membrane, and as the malleus, that is, the first ear ossicle, which is attached to the tympanic membrane gets displaced.  

This movement of the malleus further moves the stapes and the incus. As the footplate of the stapes is associated with the oval window, the movement of the oval window takes place. This movement of the oval window creates pressure waves in the vestibular duct's perilymph. The movement of these pressure waves takes place from the Oval window to the Round window.  

At the time of this movement, the pressure wave distorts the basilar membrane on its path to the round window, resulting in the vibration of the basilar membrane and the hair cells situated in the membrane against the tectorial membrane.  

The stimulation of the sensory neurons takes place in the vestibulocochlear nerve's cochlear branch due to the displacement of the stereocilia. Post this, information reaches the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe's superior temporal gyrus, and hearing takes place.

Which body systems interact to regulate blood pressure?​
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

In addition to the local control of blood flow, global control of blood flow including changes in cardiac output and control of arterial BP is mediated by the autonomic nervous system. Global neural control of arterial hypertension is essentially through the sympathetic nervous system (SNS).

During dna replication, the two strands separate as the ____________ bonds connecting the parent strands are broken by an enzyme
Setler79 [48]
During DNA replication, the two strands separate as the hydrogen bonds connecting the parent strands are broken by an enzyme called helicase. In the DNA molecule (double strand) complementary bases are joined by hydrogen bonds; that is; Adenine paired to thyamine and guanine to cytosine; during replication the enzyme helicase separates the double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases.
