The Philippine Sea plate is tectonically unique where most of the boundaries are convergent. The Pacific plate is subducting underneath the Philippine Sea plate to the east while the northwestern section of the Philippine Sea plate is subducting underneath the Eurasian plate.

Philippine Plate is a tectonic plate containing marine lithosphere that stretches beneath the Philippine Sea, to the eastward of the Philippines. Most parts of the Philippines, covering northern Luzon, are the division of the Philippine Mobile Belt, which is tectonically separated from the Philippine Sea Plate.

The Philippine Sea plate is tectonically unusual in that almost all the boundaries are convergent. The Pacific plate is subducting beneath the Philippine Sea plate to the east while the west/northwestern part of the Philippine Sea plate is subducting beneath the continental Eurasian plate.

Aneli [31]
<span>If the middle groin was not constructed then there would be more erosion between the first and last groin. The middle groin must be constructed in order to fix the erosion between the two groins. If the first or the last groin was not constructed then the erosion will be less compared to the middle groin.</span>

how does the earth evlove around the sun while the moon evlolves around the earth with out those two planets colliding
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

This is a rather complicated thing to explain so I'll try my best. To put it in simple term the sun has whats called a SOI (sphere of infleunce) and anything inside of this is effected by the gravity of that planet or sun in this case. The earth is inside of this sphere of influence. The earth has a constant velocity that is making it move away from the sun but since it's in the suns SOI the path in which the earth moves is changed in a way that causes it to spin around the sun. The same thing is happening with the moon. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think the reason the moon does not just fly away towards the sun is because it is closer to earth and is more effected by earths SOI. Hope this cleared things up for you.

Artemon [7]

Answer:B). Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer.

Explanation: A membrane is a lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell. Lipids have two parts: the fatty acid chain (the tail) and the phosphate group (the head).

The phosphate head groups are polar, face outward and interact with the outside environment of the cell. The fatty acid chain is hydrophobic and nonpolar, face each other in the bilayer thus forming a hydrophobic fluid interior.

The hydrophobic nature of the bilayer interior makes the membrane to permit only nonpolar and hydrophobic molecules to pass through the cell membrane. This is the reason the membrane allows only molecules that dissolve in the lipid bilayer to pass through to enter or leave the cell.
