When two oceanic plates collide, the younger of the two plates (because it is less dense)* will ride over the edge of the older plate. *(Oceanic plates grow more dense as they cool or move further away from the Mid-Ocean Ridge). The older, heavier plate bends and plunges steeply through the athenosphere, and descending into the earth, ir forms a trench that can be as much as 70 miles wide, more than a thousands miles long, and several miles deep.
The appropriate answer is A. Photosynthesis is tied to the carbon cycle because it is the process by which plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make food. The carbon cycle is essentially the movement of carbon between the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Photosynthesis occurs as an interaction between the atmosphere and the biosphere.
The soil layers are, in order: dirt, humus, rock. So the answer is D.
C The coast with lake victoria.
Answer:
All dinosaur fossils found by archeologists have been found a few centimeters below the iridium layer. So, the possibility of finding dinosaur fossils above the iridium layer is very slim.
Explanation:
Over 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the earth but were canceled out as a result of an extraterrestrial impact on the earth's crust. Research proved that an asteroid brought the end of dinosaurs as the element iridium was found in the earth (since iridium is abundant in asteroids and not the earth's crust).
Records of fossils found have been between 13 to 60 centimeters below the iridium or the K-T boundary as it is called.
