<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>

A plane has an airspeed of 142 m/s. A 30.0 m/s wind is blowing southward at the same time as the plane is flying. What must be t
const2013 [10]

Answer:

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that

The speed of the airplane ,v= 142 m/s

The speed of the air ,u = 30 m/s

Lets take angle make by airplane from east direction towards north direction is θ .

Now by using diagram ,we can say that

sin\theta =\dfrac{u}{v}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

sin\theta =\dfrac{30}{142}

sin\theta=0.21

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Therefore the angle will be 12.19° .
