Which statement explains why earthquakes tend to be deeper near subduction zones?

Biology
1 answer:
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

Name two substances in the body that will move based on the principles of diffusion
Nina [5.8K]
Hello there!

The principle of diffusion consists in the movement of substances through a membrane from a zone with high concentration, to a zone with low concentration, until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane. 

An example of diffusion is the process that happens when we breathe. Two substances in the body that will move based on the principles of diffusion are Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen. Carbon Dioxide will move from the bloodstream to the alveoli, and Oxygen will move from the alveoli to the bloodstream.

What causes an ecosystem to move from a primary successional stage towards a relatively-stable mature ecosystem?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is "secondary succession, an ecological succession step where an area previously occupied by living beings is disrupted".

Explanation:

In ecological succession, an ecosystem changes and develops through a series of steps. The first step, is the primary successional stage where rocks or other sedimentary structures are colonized by microorganisms. The second step, where the ecosystems changes towards a relatively-stable mature stage, occurs when an area previously occupied by living beings is disrupted. This step is named secondary succession, and the most clear example of this phenomena occurs when wildfire clears oak and hickory forests.
