A terrane in geology is a shorthand term for a "tectonostratigraphic terrane", which is a fragment of crustal material formed on, or broken off from, one tectonic plate and accreted or "sutured" to crust lying on another plate.
So the answer is A

This is because of the way the tectonic plates that are in the pacific ocean. They are the most active in all of the oceans of the world. They are constantly shifting which leads to the cause of earthquakes.

Advantage and Disadvantage of Conventional and non-conventional source of energy

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Conventional sources of energy is also called non-renewable sources of energy while non conventional sources of energy is called renewable sources of energy.

An example of conventional energy is coal, crude oil and natural gas. The advantage is the availability and affordability. The disadvantage is the level of air pollutants such as CO2 and CO it releases to the atmosphere which is harmful as it poses a risk of air borne illnesses.

An example of non conventional energy is the sun, wind , water etc. The advantage is that it reduces the risk of air pollution and keeps the environment clean as no toxic substances are being released into the atmosphere when used. The disadvantage is they are expensive and aren’t available all year round.

This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (August 2008)

The three-sector model in economics divides economies into three sectors of activity: extraction of raw materials (primary), manufacturing (secondary), and service industries which exist to facilitate the transport, distribution and sale of goods produced in the secondary sector (tertiary).[1] The model was developed by Allan Fisher,[2][3][4] Colin Clark,[5] and Jean Fourastié[6] in the first half of the 20th century, and is a representation of an industrial economy. It has been criticised as inappropriate as a representation of the economy in the 21st century.[7]

Service output in 2005

According to the three-sector model, the main focus of an economy's activity shifts from the primary, through the secondary and finally to the tertiary sector. Countries with a low per capita income are in an early state of development; the main part of their national income is achieved through production in the primary sector. Countries in a more advanced state of development, with a medium national income, generate their income mostly in the secondary sector. In highly developed countries with a high income, the tertiary sector dominates the total output of the economy.

The rise of the post-industrial economy in which an increasing proportion of economic activity is not directly related to physical goods has led some economists to expand the model by adding a fourth quaternary or fifth quinary sectors, while others have ceased to use the model.

Mid-ocean ridges (MORs), which are the sites of new oceanic crust formation, are linear mountain chains that run along divergent

Lemur [1.5K]

The correct answer is - As the hot magma exists the MOR, it shoots up higher than the surrounding crust.

The mid-ocean ridges are linear mountain chains on the ocean floor. They appear on places where there are divergent boundaries, meaning where two or more plates are moving away from one another.

As the plates move away, they leave thinner crust and gaps behind them, so the high pressure from the mantle manages to push upward the magma with ease. As the magma pushes upward it manages to move up the ocean floor as well. The magma cools of very quickly, thus creating new crust in no time. This new crust sits higher than the older one because the magma manages to push upward the ocean floor itself. Since the magma is continuously coming up and creates more and more new crust, it also gets out much higher because it makes a mountain of very hard igneous rocks around the source, thus constantly coming above the layers formed before.
