<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
D) <em>The more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate. Subducted plate melts due to heat and friction. Melted plate, now magma, rises up to the surface.</em>
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>Volcanoes may be formed at convergent plate boundaries or at divergent plate boundaries. </u></em>
- <em><u>When two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Normally, one of the converging plates that is the dense oceanic plate will move beneath the other, which is the less dense continental plate a process as subduction. </u></em>
- <em><u>The friction between the plates in the subduction zone as a result of constant movement, melts the Earth's crust causing the underneath rocks to turn into magma.</u></em>
- <em><u>The magma creates great pressure and rises towards the surface of the earth, and on reaching the surface it is called lava, and a volcano is formed.</u></em>
The 50 pound object will reach the ground first.
Explanation:
Using the second equation of motion, we can derive the time taken for each of the object to reach the ground. As the object is thrown from the top of the bridge or cliff, acceleration due to gravity will be acting on them.
So, 
The value of s for the object thrown from 50 foot bridge is given as 50 ft. The initial velocity of the object will be zero. The acceleration can be written as the ratio of mass to gravitational force.
Then, 


Then, consider the time taken for the 50 pound object to reach the bottom of 100 ft cliff as t₁ and the displacement in this case is 100 ft.
Then, 

Since, the gravitational force acting on both the objects will be same, the ratio of time taken is

So, the time taken for the 20 pound object to reach the ground of 50 ft bridge is √5 s =2.236 s and the time taken for the 50 pound object to reach the ground of 100 ft cliff is 2 s.
Thus, the 50 pound object will reach the ground first.
