neath (subducted) the other converging plate. Subduction generally can be expected to occur when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge. According to this passage, why can we expect oceanic plates to subduct underneath continental plates?

Answer:

Because the rock that make up the oceanic tectonic plate is denser than the rock make up the continental tectonic plate.

Explanation:

Subduction is the process when to tectonic plates were together,  crashing one with the other. Normally is one oceanic tectonic plate with a continental tectonic plate. The reason of this, is that the first one has a lithosphere part that is denser than the second one That means that is harder, and is easier to go attract to the nucleus of  magma of our planet.

When this process happens, since the harder rock goes to the mantle, gives a result that a the magma that is in this area, rises and erupts as in a volcano in the continental tectonic plate.

Why are grassland and savanna fires not like forest fires? Support your answer with what is currently happening in southern Fran
Artemon [7]

Savanna fires keep tree cover low and control forests from encroaching on the grassland. When tree cover is high, as in a forest, fires cannot apply as easily, halting the savanna's advance into the forest

<h3>What causes fires in most savanna grassland?</h3>

These fires are usually lit by cattle growers as part of their traditional management of the Savannas where their animals graze.

<h3>How is fire wrong for a savanna grassland?</h3>

The researchers found that the commonness of fires determines whether forest or savanna will dominate an area more than other factors such as rainfall, seasons and soil texture, particularly in areas with moderate precipitation.

Regular fires prevent trees from setting and savannas from turning into forest.

How does the maple syrup industry or the peach-growing industry depend on the natural environment?
makvit [3.9K]

Both the maple syrup industry and the peach growing industry are
dependent on their respective natural environments owing to the fact
that without the appropriate natural environment, you would run the
serious risk of not being able to grow maple trees or peach trees. 

In either event, you would be forced to retire to your corporate headquarters
in Yerington, and switch to selling shoes made in China.
