<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>

Jim stands beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is. he spots a large rock on the bank directly across from him. he then w
LuckyWell [14K]

To solve this problem, we must imagine that Jim’s initial position, the position of the rock, and Jim’s final position all connects to form a triangle. Now we can imagine that the triangle is a right triangle with the 90° angle on the initial position.

The angle of 30° is directly opposite to the length of his total stride while the width of the river is the side adjacent to the angle. Therefore can use the tan function to solve for the width of the river:

tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side

tan 30 = total stride distance / width of river

where total stride distance = 65 * 0.8 = 52 m

width of river = 52 m / tan 30

<span>width of river = 90.07 m</span>
