There are two main types of tectonic plates: Oceanic and Continental. Continental crust is mostly formed of granite and is commonly referred to as sial due to a large amount of silica and aluminium present. Continental crust is less dense than the basaltic oceanic crust, sima, which is comprised of silica and magnesium. Because it is denser, oceanic crust plunges beneath the continental crust. The division between the two layers is known as the Conrad Discontinuity.

Which best describes the relationship between the United States and oil?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

What began in the late 1800s as a love of oil (and the  potential wealth oil brings) has turned to a love-hate relationship  with oil. Oil has a wealth of uses, but also a wealth of  consequences.

  • The United States uses one-quarter of the world's energy.
  • The United States is the second-largest producer of oil in the  world.
  • The United States imports more oil than any other country.
  • The United States suffers from a blind and selfish dependency  on oil.
  • The United States struggles with ending its dependency on oil, especially when lobbyists fight this.
  • The United States argues with itself over off-shore oil  drilling. Catastrophes would truly be catastrophic, but the "oil race" continues.

Explanation:

The government of a consumer state has a vested interest in protecting the government of oil-producing states.
