<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Accretionary wedge

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • An accumulation of different sedimentary and metamorphic rocks combined with scraps of ocean crust is called<em><u> accretionary wedge.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Accretionary wedge results from the sediments that are accreted onto the subducting tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary.</u></em>
  • At the abduction zone,<em><u> the lower plate scrapes along the bottom of the overriding plate as it enters the earth, an action which erodes material that consists of rock and sediment that then accumulate onto the overriding plate in an accretionary wedge.</u></em>

<span>Accretionary wedge. The accretionary wedge is formed from several sediments: marine sediments, but also erosional materials from volcanoes. ocean floor basalts, volcanic island masses, pelagic sediments, trench sediments and other materials transported by gravity. All these sediments are in the non-subducting tectonic plate of the Earth.</span>

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).
