Answer:
Explanation:
A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.[1] These collisions happen on scales of millions to tens of millions of years and can lead to volcanism, earthquakes, orogenesis, destruction of lithosphere, and deformation. Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere. The geologic features related to convergent boundaries vary depending on crust types.
Plate tectonics is driven by convection cells in the mantle. Convection cells are the result of heat generated by radioactive decay of elements in the mantle escaping to the surface and the return of cool materials from the surface to the mantle.[2] These convection cells bring hot mantle material to the surface along spreading centers creating new crust. As this new crust is pushed away from the spreading center by the formation of newer crust, it cools, thins, and becomes denser. Subduction begins when this dense crust converges with less dense crust. The force of gravity helps drive the subducting slab into the mantle.[3] As the relatively cool subducting slab sinks deeper into the mantle, it is heated, causing hydrous minerals to break down. This releases water into the hotter asthenosphere, which leads to partial melting of asthenosphere and volcanism. Both dehydration and partial melting occurs along the 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) isotherm, generally at depths of 65 to 130 km (40 to 81 mi).[4][5]
Some lithospheric plates consist of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. In some instances, initial convergence with another plate will destroy oceanic lithosphere, leading to convergence of two continental plates. Neither continental plate will subduct. It is likely that the plate may break along the boundary of continental and oceanic crust. Seismic tomography reveals pieces of lithosphere that have broken off during convergence
Answer:
9 brains
Explanation:
No explanation, but you can fact check this by looking it up :)
All of the following (corals, jellyfish, and sea anemones) have only one opening into their digestive system, except roundworms, which have more than one.
Answer:
The answer is mother in meiosis II
Explanation:
nondisjunction can be defined as the failure of the segregation of the child chromosomes in meiosis I and meiosis II resulting in gametogenes. This results in abnormal gametes with some chromosomal imbalance being formed and subsequent fertilization of these gametes results in a generation of abnormal individuals.
According to exercise, red-green color blindness follows an X-linked recessive pattern and the phenotype is only expressed. the father cannot bring the possibility of color blindness to his children, and the nondisjunction, defined earlier, cannot occur in either meiosis I or meiosis II. As a conclusion we can say that it may have a place in meiosis I or meiosis II corresponding to the mother and although the mother's condition may be normal, the first child would be compromised with color blindness, therefore, the mother is the carrier.
