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

Describe three clean coal technologies and how they can mitigate the environmental impacts of coal. Explain how they work and pr
Andrej [43]

Clean coal technology refers to a gathering of technologies being created in order to reduce the environmental influence of coal energy production and to mitigate global climate change. There are three distinct technological procedures accessible for the aim of capturing carbon as demanded by the clean coal concept:  

1. Pre-combustion capture: This includes gasification of a feedstock like coal to generate gas that may be shifted to develop a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas, from which the carbon dioxide can be effectively separated and captured, transported, and eventually sequestered.  

2. Post-combustion capture: This is the capturing of carbon dioxide from the exhaust gases of combustion methods.  

3. Oxy-fuel combustion: The fossil fuels like coal are combusted in a mixture of oxygen and recirculated flue gas, rather than in air that hugely withdraws nitrogen from the flue gas allowing capturing of low-cost and efficient carbon dioxide.  

An initial example of a coal-based plant utilizing carbon capturing technology is a Swedish company Vattenfall's Schwarze Pumpe power station situated in Germany.
