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!

Wallerstein’s world systems theory is BEST used to explain which of the following concepts?
Nady [450]

ANswer is Nationalism

World-systems theory (also known as world-systems analysis or the world-systems perspective),[1] is a multidisciplinary, macro-scale approach to world history and social change which emphasizes the world-system (and not nation states) as the primary (but not exclusive) unit of social analysis.[1][2]

"World-system" refers to the inter-regional and transnational division of labor, which divides the world into core countries, semi-periphery countries, and the periphery countries.[2]Core countries focus on higher skill, capital-intensive production, and the rest of the world focuses on low-skill, labor-intensive production and extraction of raw materials.[3] This constantly reinforces the dominance of the core countries.[3] Nonetheless, the system has dynamic characteristics, in part as a result of revolutions in transport technology, and individual states can gain or lose their core (semi-periphery, periphery) status over time.[3] This structure is unified by the division of labour. It is a world-economy rooted in a capitalist economy.[4] For a time, certain countries become the world hegemon; during the last few centuries, as the world-system has extended geographically and intensified economically, this status has passed from the Netherlands, to the United Kingdom and (most recently) to the United States.<span>[3]</span>

Why is it that an aneroid barometer is able to measure altitude as well as atmospheric pressure? Why is it that an aneroid barom
Brut [27]

Answer:

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases.

Explanation:

  • The reason that an aneroid barometer is able to measure both the altitude and the atmospheric pressure is due to the face that the as air rise up its atmospheric pressure decrease. When measured form the means sea levels and on the ground, the surface the pressure is more thus the device can tell this difference.
  • <u>This instrument is essential for the weather analysis and matching the atmospheric pressure to the altitude. The average pressure on the earth's surface varies from 940 to 1040 Pascal. Thus the air becomes thinner as we move up the altitude.</u>

Alecsey [184]

Answer: Hope it helps!
