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.

Maru [420]
The appropriate answer is B. DIVERGENT. Divergent margins occur where two oceanic plates are pulling apart or it can occur where a Continental landmass is pulling apart.

As oceanic plates pull apart magma up wells from the mantle and new crust is formed along what is called a spreading ridge. The Mid Alantic ridge is an example of a spreading ridge where new oceanic crust is being formed.

What line is at 2322 S?
kenny6666 [7]

<u>Tropic of Cancer </u>is the line of latitude at 23.22 S

Explanation:

This is the southernmost, of the equator latitude at which the sun can appear overhead. Equivalent to this latitude to the north of the equator is the <u>Tropic of Cancer</u>. Higher latitudes never really have overhead sun. The sun is overhead the <u>Tropic of Capricorn</u> on 21st December.

As the earth revolves around the sun, the sun shifts positions – relative to the latitudes-, due to the shift of orientation of the earth with respect to the sun. The sun is overhead the tropic of cancer on 21st June and is overhead the equator on 20th March and 22nd September.
