What part does subduction play in the rock cycle?

Biology

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The subduction zones are the features that are created along the convergent plate boundary, where two plates move towards each other. As both the converging plate collides, the denser and heavier plate subducts below the less denser plate and this results in the formation of the subduction zone. As the heavy plate goes down, the pressure on the buried rocks increases and the denser rocks are pulled down deep into the greater depth, where the rocks undergoes partial melting. This zone is marked by the presence of a V-shaped trench that lies just above it.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments.

There are 5 steps of the scientific method:
1. Make an observation.
2. Form a question.
3. Form a hypothesis.
4. Conduct and experiment.
5. Analyze data and draw a conclusion.

Based off this problem:
1. It doesn't specifically say that an observation was made but since it says she's studying it, it may count as an observation???
2. No question is asked because it doesn't say that she is wanting to know what the effects are of sleep deprivation for twelfth graders during midterms.
3. There is no hypothesis stated because she is not making a prediction on the outcome.
4. I suppose the data collected that she turned in was the experiment so I'm pretty sure she did conduct the experiment.
5. She just turned in her data but no analysis or conclusion is said to be made.

Without further ado, it seems that three steps were actually left out but if I had to choose, I believe that steps 3 and 5 were left out but I may be wrong. Sorry I couldn't provide a direct answer but I hope my thought process is helpful.<span />

Free_Kalibri [48]
My guess would be A. B isnt right because you dont need a whole organ to grow an organ, but just a few of its cells. C isnt good either because you can control what stem cells will develop into by taking a cell from whatever is need, and d just doesnt make sense to me.
