Neither plate subducts because the crust have approximately the same density. Instead, the rocks are smashed together causing them to recrystallize due to the intense heat and pressure from the colliding plates.

Why is the pressure 101.3kPa significant
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

The kPa-kilopascal is the unit of pressure. It was named after Blaise Pascal, a mathematician and physicist.

The kPa is 1000Pa. Kilo stands for 1000. Now what is a pascal?

A pascal is the amount of force(Newton) exerted per unit area.

            1Pa = 1Nm⁻²

At the standard atmospheric level, the pressure is 101.325 x 10³ Nm⁻² i.e the atmosphere exerts a pressure of 101.325 x 10³N in an area of a body.

This unit is used to calculate pressure. It can be converted to other units.

musickatia [10]

Answer: No hydrogen bond cannot occur in this alpha helix structure.

Explanation: For hydrogen bond to form, the electronegativity difference should be more than 1.7. carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5 whereas hydrogen has 2.1 so their electronegativity difference is 0.3. So in this alpha helix structure cannot occur.
