Force of gravity drives to the process of subduction zones where dense pieces of oceanic crust are pulled downward toward the mantle.
We can term subduction as the process by which oceanic crust sinks into the mantle when it collides with continental crust. Subduction destroys oceanic crust by forcing it to the mantle where it melts.
Oceanic crust is said to be subducted because they contain more mafic minerals and again it has convergent boundaries. When there is a divergent between continental crust one oceanic crust sinks into the mantle.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Cells vary greatly in shape These shapes are often related to the function they perform. like the disk shape of  erythrocytes  can absorb and transport oxygen due to increased surface area., the amoeboid shape of leukocytes allow them to squeeze through capillaries. etc.

Explanation:

Cells can be disc-like , polygonal, rectangular, cubopid thread like branched or even irregular. these are related to the functions that each cell performs.

Some examples showing relation between cell shape and function are as follows.:

  • Human blood cells are circular and biconcave to transport oxygen.
  • White blood cell are amoeboid to squeeze through thin capillaries.
  • Nerve cells are long so that they can carry nerve impulse to a long distance very quickly.
  • Guard cells of stomata are bean or dumbell shaped to open and close the stomata.
