Why does the word recycling describe plate tectonics?

Geography
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
3 0

the word recycling can happen at convergent plate boundaries. when two plates are moving towards each other, the plates of the lowest densities will slip under the more dense ones. the less dense ones will sink back into magma, and melt. Then that magma under the crust leaks out at divergent boundaries, creating new crusts.

If a rock is metamorphosed but does not contain foliation or lineation, what has probably happened to the rock?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the first scenario is that the rock might not contain minerals that would result in the formation of foliations and lineations in the rock.

The bulk of a rock fabric depends on mineral orientations and their unique properties. This is why platy minerals play very important roles in defining the fabric of a rock.

Another scenario is that, the rock might have exceeded the extreme of metamorphism where melting is approached. All fabrics will eventually fan out and be destroyed.

Explain the seasonal precipitation pattern in bangkok in terms of pressure and wind systems. what causes the summer rains? what
marysya [2.9K]

Bangkok, the capital of the Southeast Asian country of Thailand, is influenced by the monsoons, and they are the dominant climatic factor in this region and gives it its climatic patters.

There's two seasons, a wet one, and a dry one. The wet season is characterized by heavy rainfall for a prolonged period of time, and those rains are brought by the wet and warm monsoons coming from east. The dry season is characterized by prolonged period of time that is warm and dry, and that is caused by the dry monsoon winds coming from the west.

During the wet season, the air pressure is higher because the rain increases the weight of the air.

During the dry season, the air pressure is lower because of the high evaporation, and the water vapor is lighter than the air itself, thus causing the air to weigh less.

9. Which type of bond involves the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another, resulting in an attraction betwee
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:    C. Ionic

Explanation:  The transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another means that certain atoms are "amplified" by negative charge, since the electrons are negative, while the other atoms from which the electrons leave become positive. This means that such atoms become negative and positive ions, causing each other to attract opposite charged ions, creating an ionic bond.
