3.1 As the passage above explains, subduction is process that occurs along convergent boundaries where one plate is pushed under

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.

Answer:

x = 10

y = 6

Explanation:

If ∆ABC is congruent to ∆GEF, therefore their corresponding side lengths would be equal to each other. Thus:

x - 8 = 2 (corresponding sides of both triangles are equal)

Add 8 to both sides

x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

x = 10

Also:

x - y = 4 (corresponding sides of both triangles are equal)

Plug in the value of x

10 - y = 4

10 - y - 10 = 4 - 10

-y = 4 - 10

-y = -6

-y/-1 = -6/-1

y = 6

The Camel is the symbol of Human survival in the desert<br><br> True or False
alex41 [277]
The answer is false.
In middle east countries, falconry is useful to Arabians way back 2000 years ago. The bird was traditionally used for hunting and it was a source of survival in the desert. The humans used its amazing ability to see great distances and to supplement their diet, catching the Habara, or similarly known as a wild turkey in the desert. That is why UAE makes the falcon as their national symbol. Camel is only used as transportation not as a means of survival.
