Answer:

Subduction zone and trench is formed

Explanation:

When two tectonic plates that are comprised of oceanic crust shares a convergent type of plate boundary, then the denser one subducts below the less dense one. Due to this convergent plate motion, a subduction zone is created, which is marked by the presence of an oceanic trench. As the subducting plate penetrates downward into the deeper zone, the process of partial melting takes place, which leads to the melting of the crust and eventually the constituent minerals are mixed with the magma. This magma again comes upward due to the force exerted by the convection current and thereby results in the formation of volcanoes in the over-riding plate.

Thus, the collision of two oceanic plates gives rise to the formation of a subduction zone and a trench.

1. How many mm fit into one km? [a] 103m [b] 10-3m [c] 105m [d] 10-5m [e] none of the above
krok68 [10]

Answer:

[a] 103m (I guess that it is 10^3 m)

Explanation:

To calculate how many millimeters you enter in a kilometer, just know the relationship between both units of distance.

The relationship is as follows:

1 km = 1 000 000 mm

So:

1 km = 1000 m = <u>10^3 m</u> = 10^6 mm = 1 000 000 mm

How many times more energy does an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 8 release than an earthquake
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

b) About 31 times more energy

Explanation:

Lot of people get confused with the way in which the earthquake magnitude is calculated. The scale for measuring the earthquakes is logarithmic, so every whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the measured amplitude. This results in every consecutive whole number the earthquake to be 33 times more powerful than the previous one, so the difference in power between magnitude 7 and magnitude 8 is 33 times. If we take magnitudes that are not consecutive numbers, like magnitude 6 and magnitude 8, then the difference in power will be around 1,000 times.

What are the two main language families to which most languages spoken throughout Europe can be traced?
oee [108]

Germanic would definitely be one of them, as this family gave rise to English and German as well as Scandinavian languages: Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish, which occupy a large portion of the area of Europe.

Another language family would most likely be Slavic, because this gave rise to Bulgarian, Czech, and most importantly, Russian, which is literally the biggest country in existence.

Wow, I just realized that this question was asked LAST YEAR. This came up in my suggested questions, so sorry about the wait. I actually just joined up today. :)
