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.

Jenny is trying to describe a wave. Which example would be the best description?
hoa [83]
<span>I believe the answer would be B - the toy car would hit another toy car that would in turn hit another toy car, and so on. A wave has a ripple effect, so it will continue to happen down the line, until there is a force that stops it, or there are no more cars to hit.</span>

vivado [14]

The<u> repressor </u>is a type of regulator protein that binds to a region of DNA in the promoter of a gene called the operator and prevents transcription from taking place.

In the field of science, a regulator protein can be described as a kind of protein that affects the transcription of a gene by having an influence on particular DNA sites. The rate of synthesis of various proteins is controlled by the regulator proteins.

A repressor is a kind of regulator protein that prevents the transcription of a particular gene. When the rate of a protein in the body has reached normal, the transcription of the protein needs to be stopped in order for more protein of that kind to be formed. The repressor binds itself to the operator region for the gene, hence stopping the transcription process until the protein is required again.
