Answer:

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) makes it hard to breathe due to obstructed airflow from the lungs. This OBSTRUCTION in turn causes respiratory acidosis.

Explanation:

RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS develops when air inhaled into and exhaled from the lungs does not get adequately exchanged between the carbon dioxide from the body for oxygen from the air.

Respiratory acidosis occurs when breathing out does not get rid of enough CO2. The increased CO2 that remains results in an acidic state. This can occur as a result of respiratory problems, such as COPD.

The increased CO2 level in the bloodstream occurring as a result of respiratory acidosis is known as hypercapnia.

Which features form near convergent oceanic plates? Select the two correct answers.
Zepler [3.9K]

trench

volcanic arc

Features that will form near convergent oceanic plate boundary is a  trench & volcanic arc

Explanation:

A trench is formed because at the boundary where the two tectonic plates are colliding, there so much stress such that the two plates warp downwards and form a depression all along the boundary. This is a mid-ocean trench. This is as opposed to a mid-ocean ridge that forms at a divergent boundary.

A volcanic arc – a chain of volcanic mountains along the convergent boundary –is formed because the enormous stress along the boundary causes the formation of fissures. The subdued plate, as it dives into the mantle, melts into magma  that rises through these fissures. At the surface, the magma erupts violently into a volcanic mountain. Because there are many fissures along the boundary, several volcanic mountain chains will form along the boundary.

How does the composition of a typical lava dome differ from that of a typical fissure eruption?
Karolina [17]
A lava dome would most likely be composed of a very viscous lava rich in silica like a rhyolite which would cause it to dome upwards and solidify quickly rather than spread out over the surface of the earth like a fissure eruption which more likely would be like a basalt much less viscous and flowing more freely.
