Why is oceanic crust subducted under continental crust?

Biology
1 answer:
Inga [223]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B.) Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust.

Explanation:

Oceanic crust is denser, so it is subducted under the continental crust. The less dense magma then rises up through the continental crust, then it's further increasing the size of the continental crust and then maintaining it's lower density than the oceanic crust, which then causes subduction.

I hope this helped. I am sorry if you get this wrong.

Which chromosomal defect is caused when part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome?
LiRa [457]

The right answer is inversion.

Inversion is a genetic mutation characterized by the end-to-end reversal of a portion of chromatid on a chromosome.

In other words, it is a double break then it is replaced after rotation of 180 ° of a chromosome segment (backward insertion).

We distinguish :

Paracentric inversions:  The centromere in the chromosome is not included in the inversion.

Pericentric inversions:  The centromere is included in the inversion which transforms a metacentric chromosome into an acrocentric chromosome.
