Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

In terms of geology, an accretionary wedge is usually defined as the accumulation of sediments that are formed from the scraping of the subducting oceanic crust during the time of the collision. These sediments are deposited in association with the ocean floor sediments and it marks the presence of a convergent plate boundary. This takes the shape of a prism which is found at the edge of the continental plate boundary.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

What issue was addressed by the Three-Fifths Compromise
Galina-37 [17]
Hello! The Three-Fifths Compromise addressed the issue of counting the population, so that there would be proper representation. Slaves votes would be counted as three-fifths of a person. With a lot of people in the U.S., it would be pretty much impossible to get the exact population. It was a controversial issue that had mixed opinions by the delegates. There were many of those that argued against slaves being counted at all.
