A/An ____________________ ____________________ forms where two plates carrying oceanic crust converge.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Subduction zone and trench is formed

Explanation:

When two tectonic plates that are comprised of oceanic crust shares a convergent type of plate boundary, then the denser one subducts below the less dense one. Due to this convergent plate motion, a subduction zone is created, which is marked by the presence of an oceanic trench. As the subducting plate penetrates downward into the deeper zone, the process of partial melting takes place, which leads to the melting of the crust and eventually the constituent minerals are mixed with the magma. This magma again comes upward due to the force exerted by the convection current and thereby results in the formation of volcanoes in the over-riding plate.

Thus, the collision of two oceanic plates gives rise to the formation of a subduction zone and a trench.

How would you reply to someone who argues that we should not worry about the effects that human activities have on natural syste
svp [43]

Answer:

It is partially true, "life finds a way" but human activities have already made some irreversible damage to the world.

Explanation:

In a Hypotethic scenario in which Humans are extinct nature Will eventually, start succession processes in urban areas and after many years depending on the erosional resistance of the materials nature will erase many of the buildings around the world ( 500 years for metal). Water bodies will eventually decontaminate trough the water cycle and be filled with organisms, contamination due to petrol can also be reverted through natural chemical processes with oxygen.

But human activities like mining are irreversible, for the earth, it is impossible to recover its shape, the materials already extracted and soil nutrients that ran out due to the use of chemicals.

The acceleration of the climate change due to human activities is for sure the biggest wound we have made to the world, this is an irreversible acceleration to a natural process.

The origin of the Universe is still a question_
Molodets [167]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Because there is not enough evidence to prove just one theory</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is tough to explain the whole development of the earth together with some different theories. We don't know how long the whole universe will last or we don't know is there a probability for the universe to get extinct.

Everything related to universe is still mysterious and every theories which has been proved till today can be modified at any time because we know that the universe is expanding and we cannot state a stable theory for its origin. However, that depends on the future which we cannot define and it also modify the possible fate of the world.
