Answer:

A subduction zone arises from the clash between the continental crust and the oceanic crust.

The <u>oceanic crust is the part of the earth's crust that forms the oceans</u> and <u>is much less thick than the continental crust</u>. And the <u>continental crust is what continents and continental platforms are made o</u>f and is much<u> thicker than the oceanic crust. </u>

Being much thicker, the continental crust forces the oceanic crust to sink beneath it, and exerts a downward force causing it to sink to a depth of up to 160 km.

While it reaches depth, <u>it is getting hotter and the liquids and materials inside it are released</u>. All these materials melt and form magma and as they come out again towards the surface steep volcanoes form.

These areas are characterized by having large chains of volcanoes due to this process.

3. In which case did the U.S. Supreme Court decide that the press was protected from libel suits unless the offended party could
balandron [24]

Answer:

B New York Times v. Sullivan.

Explanation:

The correct answer is

B New York Times v. Sullivan.

In this case, in 1960, the NY times publish an advertisement and defense of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. The advertisement had some small facts stated wrongly, and so a police commissioner from Montgomery, Alabama, named Sullivan sued the NY Times for defamation. However, he could not prove that there was any malice in the ad. The US Supreme Court defended the NY Times, and defended the free reporting of the civil rights movement. So, it protected the press from libel suits unless the offended party could prove malice by the media.

A passenger on an interplanetary express bus traveling at v 5 0.99c takes a 5-minute catnap, according to her watch. Show that h
Vladimir [108]

:

35 minutes (See proof below)

Explanation:

Given

Velocity = v = 0.99c

Time = ∆t =5 minutes

Lorentz Factor is the factor by which time, length, and relativistic mass change for an object while that object is moving and it is given as

y = 1/√(1 - v²/c²) where v = velocity = 0.99c and c = time constant = 1

So,

y = 1/√(1 - (0.99c)²/c²)

y = 1/√(1 - 0.9801c²/c²)

y = 1/√(1 - 0.9801)

y = 1/√0.0199

y = 7.088812050083359

Calculating her catnap;

Catnap Time = ∆t * y

= 5 minutes * 7.088812050083359

= 35.44406025041679 minutes

= 35 minutes ----- Approximated

Which provide the most creative explanation for why sediment form horizontal and parallel layer
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The principle of original horizontality and lateral continuity

Explanation:

The principle of original horizontality explains how sedimentary rocks are laid and arranged strategically in basins of deposition flatly and horizontally in space. It is very important when trying to determine the original orientation of strata in a sedimentary terrain. Sediments are laid in water under a strong influence of gravitational force.

The principle of lateral continuity shows that sediments are laid out laterally and parallel to one another until they thin or taper out on their edges. This shows the layered or stratified nature of sediments.
