<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.

Question 10 Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) Which of the following is the least dense? asthenosphere continental crust Ocore man
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

The earth's interior is divided into 3 parts which includes the crust, core and the mantle. The core of the earth represents the extreme interior part of the earth which is covered by the mantle. The density of the core is the highest and is approximately 13 g/cm³, Whereas, the density of the mantle (including both the upper and lower mantle) is relatively less and is about 4.5 g/cm³ on an average.

The asthenosphere is the layer in which the rocks are solid but they tends to flow during deformation. This layer is present in the apex portion of the upper mantle and it has a density of nearly 3.3g/cm³.

The continental and the oceanic crust represents the outermost portion of the earth. The rocks of oceanic crust are denser than the rocks of continental crust. The density of the oceanic crust is nearly 3 g/cm³ and continental crust is 2.7g/cm³.

Thus, the continental crust is the less dense, compared to the other layers of the earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
