ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option C, At a subduction zone, oceanic crust is forced deep into the Earth.

Explanation:

At sub-duction zone, the dense oceanic plates coincides with the less dense continental plates and thus sink below the continental plates. Sometimes these oceanic plates being dense, sink to greater depth with in the earth’s mantle. The sub-duction zone causes  earth quakes of high intensity when oceanic crust penetrates to greater depths of earth crust as they tend to change the rheology of the earths’ mantle and also causes bending of plates

Hence, option C is correct

OleMash [197]

Answer/Explanation:

  • You would have to be very careful of cross-contamination. That means you would have to work very carefully and precisely with protective clothing, ensuring that none of your DNA (from skin or hair or even trace) gets into the sample you are working with
  • You would have to be very careful to check and record samples properly to ensure nothing got mixed up or mislabeled and this could be disastrous for criminal cases
  • All the material is very precious and sometimes only one sample exists, so you have to avoid making any mistakes. Experiments can't always be repeated.
