Answer:

<em>At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust. Called the "Ring of Fire," these subduction zones are responsible for the world's biggest earthquakes, the most terrible tsunamis, and some of the worst volcanic eruptions.</em>

BRANLIEST AWARDED TO THE BEST ANSWER!!
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

I agree because Climate variability is part of nature, of course - man-made climate change does not "impress" by how much the climate is changing, but how fast this happens. In general, in the end it does not matter why all this happens, because the fact that we are in urgent need to adapt to the effects remains!

Which type of mountain forms because of divergent plate boundary?
hjlf
In divergent boundaries, plates move away from one another, often causing volcanic activity. The cooled magma is able to form islands such as the ones on the Aleutian archipelago.

*I don't think any of these are actual types of mountains. <em>Arc contient </em>and <em>Andean</em> aren't even real things.

As for your second question:
There are two main types of rocks in the Earth's crust.
Granite is less dense and rises higher, usually above land in continental crust.
Basalt is denser and so it will sink lower and form oceanic crust.
However, there is a layer of sediment on top of that crust. (sand, gravel, etc.)
