Answer:

Upon contact with the continental plate, the oceanic plate, being denser, begins to sink into the asthenosphere. This sinking of the plate is called subduction. Once in the asthenosphere, the oceanic plate melts due to high temperatures. The melts thus formed come to the surface in the form of volcanic eruptions, forming a volcanic chain of subduction.

When two plates come in contact, a collision is created, which leads to earthquakes or sediment wrinkles, followed by their elevation and mountain formation.

When two plates come in contact, a collision is created, which leads to earthquakes or sediment wrinkles, followed by their elevation and mountain formation.

<em>Thus, the mountain ranges were formed: the American Cordillera and the Himalayan mountains.</em>

Continuewith January 14, 2006, at 7:12 PM.Like all of the planets, Marsis found close to the ecliptic. Look at the eastern horizon, and you will see the planet Saturn and the Moon just above it. Activate the angle measure. If you place the start of the angle measure on Saturn and extend it along the ecliptic westward forabout 26°, you will come to an open circle. Exit angle measure tool andclick on the circle that partially covers the constellation name.(Each answer here is worth 1 point.)[Hint: The object is give as reveled by the angle

Modern depositional rates of carbonate sediment in the Caribbean Sea are 1.55cm/1,000yrs. Given this rate, how long would it tak
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

In order to deposit 100 meters of limestone layer, it will take 6,451,600 years

Explanation:

Given that,

The rate of deposition carbonate sediments is 1.55 cm in 1,000 years

⇒ 1.55 cm = 1,000 years

⇒ 1 cm = \frac{1000}{1.55}

⇒ 1 cm = 645.16 years

∵ 1 m = 100 cm

∴ 100 m = 100 × 100 cm

⇒ 100 m = 10,000 cm

So, the time it will take for carbonate to deposit 100 m thick layer of limestone will be-

⇒ 10,000 cm (100 meter) =  645.16 × 10,000 years

⇒ 100 meters = 6,451,600 years

Guestion in agriculture science? outline the advantages of a mixture of grasses and legumes on a pasture
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The advantages of mixture a grasses and legumes is;

* extend the growing season of a pasture

* improve the quality of forage

* improve flexibility to survive environmental conditions

* reduce susceptibility to insects and disease attacks

* improve the palatability

* increase the organic matter content of the soil over time because of grass root system

* reduce weed encroachment

* reduce erosion

* produce higher yields

The probable pasture production for perennial ryegrass in the northern hemisphere leaves some time when the grass is dormant. There are times when other feed will be needed. Utilizing another grass or legume that flourishes during the less productive periods for perennial ryegrass extends the season for production and maintains the quality of feed.
