Answer:

Convergent plate boundaries are usually characterized by the convergent motion of the tectonic plates and the formation of a subduction zone, deep sea-oceanic trenches.

When the plates move towards each other, there forms a subduction zone where the denser plate goes below the lighter one. This subduction zone is basically identified by the presence of a narrow V-shaped type of depression, which is commonly known as the trench.

As the denser plate subducts into the layer of the asthenosphere, the rocks undergo partial melting and mixes with the magma. This magma is then brought upward into the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes.

This type of plate boundary is responsible for the occurrence of deep-focus earthquakes.

Answer:

33.33 m/s

Explanation:

m = 450 kg. T = 5000 N, t = 3 seconds,

let the net acceleration is a.

T = m a

a = 5000 / 450 = 11.11 m/s^2

u = 0 , v = ?

Let v be the velocity after 3 seconds.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 0 + 11.11 x 3 = 33.33 m/s

Which example does not describe a behavioral adaptation? A. A squirrel buries acorns to dig up and eat later. B. A honeybee does

The answer is B) A honeybee does a dance to tell the other bees where to find flowers.
Honeybees do not dance, first of all.
Second, that is not an adaptation. That is more like a message. An adaptation is changing to the environment to survive. This is not changing to the environment. They are just signaling the other bees.
A, C, and D are all adaptations. They change so that they can survive. They do a different method than usual.
