Because the continental crust is less dense than the oceanic crust, the oceanic crust will be pulled beneath the continental crust.

Explanation:

PLATO exact sample answer

As continential plate has a lower density, when the oceanic plate and continetial plate collide the denses oceanic plate will be subducted under the less dense continential plate.

As mentioned in the question, although continential plate is thicker, the continental crust undergoes heating and cooling cycles that lower it’s density, while the oceanic plate was thinner but denser.

Therefore when they collide, the denser plate will slide under the less dense plate due to the convection current of magma.

While features like the ocean trench and volcanoes will be formed due to subduction and the accumulation of continential crust.

Hope it helps!

Which of the following describes a continental climate?
Andre45 [30]

The correct answer is - B. less rainfall and temperature swings between seasons.

The continental climates are under heavy influence of the continental air masses, which are warm and dry, or cold and dry. The influences of the sea are minimal and only in certain parts of the year.

These climate types experience the change of four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, all of which have their own unique characteristics.

The spring and the autumn are mild, and are usually the periods when most of the precipitation occurs.

The summers are very hot and dry, while the winters are very cold and dry.

The temperatures from the summer and the winter may range up to 70 C degrees, with having 35 C degrees above zero in the summer, and 35 C degrees bellow zero in the winters. These climate types are mostly found deeper into the mainland of the continents.

if the greenhouse effect does raise temperatures worldwide, it is predicted that all of the following will happen except
Zina [86]

if the greenhouse effect does raise temperatures worldwide, it is predicted that all of the following will happen except Failing sea levels and lower rainfall in coastal zones

When gases in Earth's atmosphere capture the heat from the Sun, the process is known as the greenhouse effect. Earth becomes significantly warmer as a result of this process than it would be otherwise. One of the factors that make Earth a nice place to live in the greenhouse effect.

The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that heats the globe is known as the "greenhouse effect" because it functions similarly to a greenhouse. Imagine that a greenhouse can successfully grow plants all year long, even when the weather outside is too cold for some of them to do so. Maintaining a temperature on our planet that is suitable for life depends on greenhouse gases. The Earth's inherent greenhouse effect prevents the heat from simply escaping.
