<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The geological process taking place in the convergent boundaries is what is called subduction. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tectonic plates moves from side to another and they are forced to sink because of substantial gravitational forces to the mantle.  

The crust of the earth is continuous however it is divided into pieces, the pieces, therefore, is one called tectonic plates, and they move close to each other through the power of convection cycles contained in the mantle below the crust enabling the plates to move freely.

With the rise of nation-states, new countries discovered nationalism, or a pride in common ethnic heritages, cultures, and belie
timurjin [86]
It is certainly true that nationalism has its upsides. A national consciousness led to the creation of states (instead of feudal regions or city-states) and remembering traditions and your history is important because it connects you to other people. However, being a national means identifying as something; hence , you are different from others. At some points, nationalism leads to despising other populations either because they are different and have different traditions or because they are simply unknown to us. In its worst instances, nationalism has led to nazism and genocide; the notion that a nation is better than another is the start of such actions. Hence, it is important that despite having a proud knowledge of our history and our identity, we also reach out towards other cultures, accept them and learn from them.

Which type of boundary forms where two continental plates collide?
svp [43]
Because the rock making up continental plates is generally lighter and less dense than oceanic rock, it is too light to get pulled under the earth and turned into magma. Instead, a collision between two continental plates crunches and folds the rock at the boundary, lifting it up and leading to the formation of mountains and mountain ranges. 

<span>At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.

Using complete sentences, compare conventional farming with organic farming.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Organic and traditional farming are fundamentally different in that conventional farming depends on chemical intervention to combat pests and weeds and provide plant nutrition. Organic farming, on the other hand, produces balanced, abundant food by relying on natural concepts such as biodiversity and composting.
