At which type of tectonic plate boundary is a volcano least likely to occur?

Biology
1 answer:
Arlecino [84]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Hotspot

Explanation:

Volcanoes can form in three different places: a convergent boundary, a divergent boundary, or a hot spot.

-At a convergent plate boundary, two plates collide and form a subduction zone. In the subduction zone, the denser, heavier plate goes below the more buoyant plate. The plate that goes under is subjected to immense heat and pressure and melts to form magma. This magma is less dense than the surrounding solid rock and rises to the surface through cracks in the plates to form a volcano.

- Volcanoes will form along divergent plate boundaries. A divergent boundary is when the plates move apart from each other. When the plates part, magma from under either plate rises and forms a volcano.

-A hotspot is the third place a volcano can form. This particular type is the least common. Hot spots are when thermal plumes from deep in the Earth rises. This heat, combined with the lower pressure at the bottom of the lithosphere, causes magma to form. The magma, as we discussed, is less dense than the surrounding solid crust and rises to the surface through cracks and channels and then erupts at the surface to form a volcano.

A type of cellular transport is shown. Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport? Your answer: A.Osmosis
madreJ [45]

Answer:

B.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

Explanation:

Substances move in and out of living cells through various transport means. Some substances move passively (without energy) while others move actively (with energy). Active transport of substances involves the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.

Active transport moves against concentration gradient in the sense that the movement occurs from a region which is less concentrated to one which is more concentrated, hence, energy input in form of ATP is required for such transport to occur. This is the case of the cellular transport in the diagram. Therefore, it is an ACTIVE TRANSPORT because energy input (ATP) is required.

Note, Osmosis and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport that requires no energy to occur.

Match the description of each organism to the appropriate category. Not all numbered options will be used. (Please match 1 numbe
Olegator [25]

Answer: Fungi are microscopic heterotrophic living organisms that grow as long threads called hyphae. In terms of their function, they can be divided into-

Parasitic fungus that obtains nutrients from living host while harming it, mutualistic fungus that obtains nutrients and inturn provides benefit provides to the host, and saprophytic fungus that are mainly classified as decomposers.

Thus, correct match is as-

A) Parasitic fungus-  4) lives within the blood of another organism and causes disease  

B)  Mutualistic fungus - 5) lives around the roots of a tree and provides nutrients to the tree

C) Saprophytic fungus- 2) lives in a marsh environment and aids in biodegradation.
