When two convergent boundaries collide, especially in the ocean, an Island arc is formed.

When these  two convergent plates collide, the older plate which is denser subducts beneath the younger plate.  As the subducting plate is pushed deeper into the mantle, it melts. The magma this creates rises and erupts. This forms a line of volcanoes known as an island arc , with considerable earth quakes created.

Examples of island arcs include Japan, Indonesia, the Phillipine Islands and the Aleutian Islands  of Alaska.

"compare and contrast the pathogenicity of clostridium botulinum and clostridium tetani, including mechanisms of action of their
Sergeu [11.5K]
The two bacteria are considered to be anaerobic endospore-formers that deliver neurotoxins. Disease comes about when the endospores are brought profound into the tissues. The two neurotoxins meddle with engine control. Botulism poison, delivered by C. botulinum, ties the cytoplasmic films of engine neurons at the neurotransmitter and keeps the arrival of acetylcholine neurotransmitter and, subsequently, forestalls motioning to muscle cells. At the point when muscle cells don't get signals from engine neurons, they stay loose, bringing about a flabby loss of motion. The absence of engine control delivers a not insignificant rundown of side effects, the most genuine of which is a respiratory disappointment, on the grounds that respiratory muscles can be influenced by botulism poison.

Nonvascular plants have a system that transports water and nutrients throughout the plant’s body
solniwko [45]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Plants, based on whether they can conduct water and nutrients, are classified into vascular and non-vascular plants. Vascular plants also called TRACHEOPHYTES are plants that possess certain special tissues called vascular tissues used for conducting water and nutrients in a plant. These conducting tissues are xylem and phloem.

On the other hand, non-vascular plants do not possess vascular or conducting tissues, hence, they cannot transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Hence, such plants are naturally found in moist areas e.g. mosses. Therefore, based on the question asked, the answer is FALSE.
