Biology
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
7 0
High rates of volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building are the sites of subduction zones. They occur in convergent boundaries found in tectonic plates of both oceanic and continental crusts. Subduction zones occur when one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the mantle as the plates converge again.
<span>
Regions that are within subduction zones experience an average rate of convergence of 2-8 centimeters per year. They are subject to many earthquakes because of the collisions that occur within the tectonic plates. </span>

You can measure and describe climate by walking out the door and describing current atmospheric conditions. true or False
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The answer is "False."

Explanation:

The sentence above is stating that you can<u> "measure"</u> and describe climate by "walking out the door and describing current atmospheric conditions." This is "false" because climate cannot be measured by qualitative descriptions or subjectively. Measuring it entails quantity which is objective in nature. An example of this is by using "thermometers" or "rain gauges."

Although you can describe the atmospheric condition or the climate just by walking out the door,<em> you can never measure it.</em>

Thus, this explains the answer.

The potential must be strong enough to send a(n) potential to the CNS.
salantis [7]

It is true that the potential must be strong enough to send a potential to the CNS. The stronger the potential, the more it will excite the transmitter in relaying the message to another neuron, therefore, if this happens, the more will it be easier to pass the message.
