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

Biology

Arlecino [84]3 years ago

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.

In a controlled experiment, the variable that is changed to test the hypothesis is called the:
Anni [7]

The variable that is intentionally manipulated or changed in a controlled experiment is know as the B) Independent Variable.

This is done, as the question states, to test the hypothesis. In other words, it is changed in order to see what results are produced, then the results are analyzed, and ideally an explanation of the changing results will arise and progress can be made in the experiment.

Personally, it is outrageous. If my ability is just as equal of someone else of a different color or wealthier then me, I should be given an equal chance. The world isn't fair but when it comes to thing like this, it should be. People of lower class can work just as hard as higher class, no one really takes that into consideration.

In order to perceive forms and patterns from incoming stimuli, individuals utilize____.
4vir4ik [10]

Group of answer choices.

A. feature analysis

B. change blindness

C. selective attention

D. inattentional blindness

Answer:

A. feature analysis

Explanation:

Stimulus can be defined as an obvious change in either the chemical or physical structure of an organism' environment (either external or internal). Thus, all living organisms (both animals and plants) respond to changes in their environment and consequently, an appropriate response or reaction is made. Also, stimulus arising from within the organism is known as internal stimulus while those from its environment are known as the external stimulus.

In organisms, the specialized cells that detect stimulus are generally known as sensory receptors while a group of these receptors is referred to as sense organ. Therefore, the senses are necessary for behavior because stimuli must be sensed in order to respond.

Stimulus control can be defined as a phenomenon that arises when a living organism responds or behaves in the presence of a stimulus and in another way in the absence of a stimulus.

For example, opening the door of a microwave oven as soon as its timer beeps.

Example II; When your body touches a hot object, you quickly move away and feel some pain subsequently.

In order to perceive forms and patterns from incoming stimuli, individuals utilize feature analysis of the signals from the environment.
