Where are subduction zones likely to form?

Geography
2 answers:
NARA [144]3 years ago

Answer:

B. Between converging oceanic and continental plates

Explanation:

Subduction happens when a tectonic plate slides under another one.

For this to occur, the two plates have to be converging towards each other.  

The plates running towards each other are usually an oceanic plate converging towards a continental plate, since continental plates are too far apart and separated by oceanic plates.  It could happen between two oceanic plates... but that's really an exception.

Diverging plates are not causing any subduction since they are running away from each other.  Just by that fact, you can eliminate the answers A, C and D.

Answer:

B. Between oceanic plates and continents converging

Explanation:

A subduction zone is a region of multilevel tectonic plate movements in which one plate moves under another and is forced or submerged by gravity into the mantle. Stable subduction zones involve oceanic lithosphere from one plate sliding below the continental lithosphere or another oceanic plate due to higher oceanic lithosphere density. That is, the subducted lithosphere is always oceanic while the overlapping lithosphere may or may not be oceanic.

Convergent is a plate movement where the plates move toward each other where the force acting on this motion is the compressional force. Subduction is part of convergent movement. Areas that are above this subduction zone will usually occur volcanism and also earthquakes with high intensity.

So the correct answer is B. Between oceanic plates and continents converging

sveta [45]

Answer:

31. C. Law of Effect

32. D. Innate satisfying stimuli

33. A. Modeling

Explanation:

BF Skinner elaborated the Law of Effect of Throndike by introducing reinforcement. Skinner proposed that behavior that is reinforced is more likely to be repeated and without reinforcement, it would eventually die out.

Primary reinforcers are unconditioned, meaning they are biologically important and learning is not necessary. Examples would be eating, sleeping, sex and the like.

The idea of modelling was introduced by Bandura. As children are surrounded by different individuals, exposed to TV characters and the like, they often observe and imitate the behavior of these "models". At first children are more likely to imitate those who are like them, and then evenutally associate the behavior to rewards and consequences. If the behavior they imitated lead to rewards, they would most likely continue the imitated behavior.

babymother [125]

Answer:

I don't think it was because your room wasn't clean. The main cause of bed bugs is travel, which means most likely you got one on you when you went outside or something, and you accidentally got it into your room. Bed bugs hitchhike on luggage, clothing, people, etc.

If there are blood stains or dark/rusty spots on your bed/pillow, there are definitely bed bugs. The bloodstains/spots come from you crushing the bed bugs accidentally. The place where bed bugs are (in this case, your room), may also begin to smell bad. You might also see eggs laid by the bed bugs.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!
