If you're going to ask a question, at least provide the steps or possible answers that you are provided with so that others can help you. Luckily, I know the exact question you are trying to solve. 
The order the steps go in is:
 <span> The oceanic plate would subduct under the continental plate into the asthenosphere. 
From the intense heat and pressure within the mantle, the crust of the oceanic plate would mix with the rock of the mantle. 
Mantle convection would cause magma to rise up through divergent boundaries.</span>

Answer: The entire process is mentioned in  step-wise below-

  1. Firstly, two plates moves opposite to each other, due to this the crust gradually become thin and subsequently rises up.
  2. On continuous thinning of the crust, at one point, the magma will come out to the surface producing a small rift.
  3. Rifting continuously takes place and results in a rift valley,and slowly after millions of years will form an ocean.
  4. Then, the two diverging plate will collide with another oceanic or continental plate, in which the more denser oceanic crust will get subducted beneath the less denser one.
  5. This suducted plate, at much greater depth undergoes partial melting and slowly makes its way up to the crust.
  6. This magma on further pushing towards the surface, initiates sea floor spreading, thus repeating the entire cycle.

Sati [7]

Answer:

m_2 = 23 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the tension in two strings are

T_2 = 111 N

T_4 = 222 N

now we have

F_{net} = ma

so we can say

(m_1 + m_2)a = T_2

(12 + m_2)a = 111

also we have

(m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4) a = T_4

(12 + m_2 + 15 + 20) a = 222

now divide two equations

\frac{222}{111} = \frac{47 + m_2}{12 + m_2}

2m_2 + 24 = 47 + m_2

m_2 = 23 kg

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

c. 2 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by:

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem, we have

f = 4 Hz is the frequency

\lambda = 0.5 m is the wavelength

So, the speed of the wave is

v=(4 Hz)(0.5 m)=2 m/s

Which objects will likely have the smallest gravitational force between them?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. Two tennis balls that are near each other  

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is

F = \dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{d^{2} }

where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.

Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.

If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.

The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.

The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.

Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer : Use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet

Explanation :  we use the magnet to separate the sand from the iron filing. Because the magnet has an attraction power.

We can say that we can use the magnet to attract the iron filings out of the mixture because iron is magnetic solid, but sand will not attract because sand is not magnetic solid.

So,  we use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet.
